GetGenome is excited to announce #GGRoadToJeju2026 "Road to Jeju" Call for Projects - an open call to support research communities across the world, to generate and interpret sequence data of plant-a

The combined herbaria will create an unmatched archive for studying plant diversity in the southeastern United States (Chapel Hill, N.C.— Aug. 31, 2026) UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke University will unite....

Springer Nature has removed two studies by Max Planck. A bot may be to blame

Microbial competition drives rapid adaptation, often forcing organisms to specialize in new ecological niches. Adaptations that improve competitive...

Gregory J. Hannon passed away in April 2026 at the age of 61. A towering figure in modern molecular biology, Greg influenced remarkably diverse areas of science. His work reshaped our understanding of...

A plant pathogen effector suppresses an activated helper NLR via a host ENTH domain–containing protein, NbTOL9a.

Plants and animals respond to pathogen attack by mounting innate immune responses that require intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins. These immune receptors detect pathog...

The blast fungus forms a force-generating appressorium for plant infection. Eseola et al. show how individual spore cells adopt distinct fates, trafficking organelles to the appressorium or undergoing...

We demonstrate that in a porcine full-thickness thermal injury wound model, a Pseudomonas aeruginosa mutant deficient in biofilm formation undergoes adaptive evolution by acquiring mutations that alter the outer membrane, either type IV pili (T4P) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) mutations, that restores the deficient biofilm phenotype. We also observe a striking degree of mutational parallelism, at both the biosynthetic pathway and gene level, indicating the strong selective pressures experienced by these pathways during chronic wound infection.

Unraveling the process and molecular details of host-pathogen evolution Our lab is interested in host-microbe evolution and the interplay between host genetic diversity and the evolution and ...

Abstract. Microbial population genetic studies often involve the use of a dated phylogeny to show how the genomes are related over a relevant timescale. Ma
