Long-read sequencing has the potential to improve taxonomic resolution and diversity analysis of subsurface microbial ecosystems.

Cellular metabolism is widely understood as an integrated network of redox reactions, energy conservation, and biosynthetic pathways. Here we show that across diverse prokaryotic lineages, loss of red...

Nature Microbiology, Published online: 19 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41564-026-02408-1Deep learning reveals that prion-related proteins contain hidden ‘prionin’ peptides with antibacterial activity, including two candidates that reduced infections in mice.

Because of several major changes when updating baclife I recommend reinstalling all conda environments. Major changes We do not longer rely on PROKKA which will no longer be updated. BacLIFE now ...

This study identifies a monocot-specific enzymatic module in the beneficial root endophyte Serendipita indica, showing how ancestral saprotrophic enzymes have been repurposed into an immune-compatible...

Why the greatest scientific experiment in history failed, and why that's a great thing

Amplicon sequencing variants from 16s ONT R10.4 / HiFi long reads - bluenote-1577/savont

Van nietige losse cellen naar een rijke gemeenschap vol samenwerking. Dat is hoe het inzicht in de microwereld van bacteriën, schimmels en andere microscopisch kleine organismen zich de afgelopen twee...

Although metagenomic sequencing has revealed a rich microbial biodiversity in the mammalian gut, methods to genetically alter specific species in the microbiome are highly limited. Here, we introduce ...
