Bacterial genomes are remarkably dynamic, shaped by horizontal transfer of plasmids that follow evolutionary trajectories of their own. This study uses eco-evolutionary perspectives to reveal how the ...

An ongoing recall of frozen blueberries implicated in an outbreak of E coli has now been expanded to include another brand.

Are you excited about exploring the biology behind phages infecting dormant bacteria? Join forces to uncover fundamental biology with great potential for clinical impact. We offer a fully funded PhD p...

Estimating preventable antimicrobial resistance (AMR) burden is vital for guiding policy and research, but current methods rely on complex assumptions. In this Perspective, authors outline the…

Broad discussion essential to put guardrails in place before organisms developed further

Scientists are debating whether to limit biological AI software to ward off threats.

From DNA synthesis ceilings to new assembly architectures, and the converging stack that promises to make rapid biological iteration reality
