While study systems involving mammalian hosts and their microbiomes are inherently complex, multi- and holo-omic analyses promise to provide interpretable results with translational value for the anim...

Deep-sea holobionts adapt to extreme environmental fluctuations, but the molecular mechanisms underlying resilience remain poorly understood. We investigated the vesicomyid clam Archivesica marissinic...

Insect herbivores destroy a staggering share of the world’s harvests every year, and the chemical arsenal deployed against them is steadily losing its edge. Pesticide resistance keeps evolving, e

Penn State’s microbiome sciences dual-title doctoral program has reached a milestone with the graduation of its first student. The program is the first doctoral degree program worldwide focused specif...

Heritable microbes profoundly influence insect biology, yet the traits they confer often evolve rapidly and differ among closely related symbiont s...
