The gut microbiome is made up of trillions of microbes that play a vital role in keeping us healthy. A disturbance in the balance of these microbes can contribute to a variety of health conditions, ...

Researchers have created the largest collection of digital microbes -- nearly a quarter million computer models -- to help revolutionize our understanding of the human microbiome and its impact on ...

Climate models are essential to predicting and addressing climate change, but can fail to adequately represent soil microbes, a critical player in ecosystem soil carbon sequestration that affects the ...

For nearly a century, biologists have relied on a simple rule to predict how microbes grow when food is scarce, a rule that quietly shaped everything from wastewater treatment plants to vaccine ...

The communities formed by human gut microbes can now be predicted more accurately with a new computer model developed in a collaboration between biologists and engineers, led by the University of ...

Soil microbes remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it underground, revealing an overlooked pathway for storage in ...

The unprecedented global healthcare crises caused by the outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has driven extensive research focused on understanding the virus’ ...
