Microbial diversity is organised into operationally defined species. However, it remains unclear whether these, or finer-scale groups represent biologically meaningful units in natural communities. He...

Temperature is a key driver of ocean microbial community structure, yet its role in shaping global distributions and their response to warming remains unclear due to fragmented studies, inconsistent m...

Coral reefs are experiencing unprecedented rapid decline. Art can act as a beacon to engage audiences, influence policy, and inspire global action.

Escherichia coli ABC transporter-dependent capsule gene analysis alongside the development and application of the kTYPr in silico capsule typing tool uncovers E. coli capsule diversity across environm...

Reconstructing microbial genomes from 820 reef-building corals collected at 99 reefs across 32 islands throughout the Pacific Ocean highlights the importance of conserving coral reefs as vital reservoirs of molecular diversity.

EMBL and its community are deeply saddened by the death of Peer Bork, the organisation’s Interim Director General.

Environmental metagenomic explorations show that Mirusviricota lineages lack essential replication and transcription genes and contain spliceosomal introns, suggesting nuclear reproduction.

In einigen Regionen der Welt sind Korallen hitzeresistenter als anderswo. Was ist das Geheimnis dieser Riffe? Zudem: Wir begleiten einen Mars-Rover im Sinkflug. Und: Die Internationale Raumstation ISS...

Studying microbial community dynamics is fundamental to better understand ecosystem stability, resilience and environmental change. Community composition changes with the growth of individual members,...

Despite its critical importance in the formation and maintenance of ecosystems and homeostasis on Earth, biodiversity remains a complex and non-unified concept. Consequently, standards for measuring g...
