Genome editing lets scientists rewrite DNA, the instruction manual inside every living cell, with a precision that was unthinkable a generation ago. Technologies such as CRISPR have made this almost ...

This study uses sequencing-based neutralization assays to measure titers to influenza viruses with HAs from seasonal H3N2 and H1N1 viruses representative of those circulating in late 2025 and early ...

Birds are charismatic—well loved, and highly studied. Many new phylogenies elucidating avian evolutionary relationships are published every year. We have united phylogenetic estimates from hundreds of ...

Tibellus oblongus (Walckenaer, 1802) belongs to the Philodromidae family and is distributed throughout the Holarctic ecozone. T. oblongus, as well as all other species of the Tibellus genus, is an ...

Environmental DNA (eDNA) research is transforming biomonitoring at a global scale, but applicability to reptiles has been restricted because of their presumed low shedding rate. Consequently, eDNA may ...

To advance understanding of the human gut microbiome, research must prioritize accurate, unbiased and comprehensive microbial measurements. In real-life practice, gut microbiome research findings are ...

Different strains of the same prokaryotic species often show significant variation in gene content. Whether this variation is due to genetic drift or selection is not well understood. If the latter, ...
