Ocean microbes keep the planet healthy by cycling nutrients and capturing carbon, but a detailed and precise map of where ...

Scientists have discovered the DNA of ancient microbes inside of the remains of woolly and steppe mammoths. This microbial DNA, which may be one million years old or more, may be among the oldest DNA ...

Underground environments like soil and aquifers teem with microbial life. These tiny microbes play a big role in cycling ...

In this interview, News Medical speaks with Rhea Stringer, Electron Microscopist at the John Innes Centre, about the role of electron microscopy in biological imaging. Rhea discusses how advanced ...

QUT researchers have recovered the genomes of more than 24,000 previously unknown microbial species—some from entirely new branches of life that likely evolved before plants and animals. The microbes ...

Researchers from University of California San Diego, as part of a large collaboration with scientists around the world, have developed a new search tool to help researchers better understand the ...

New method reveals chemical signs of early microbial life in ancient Earth rocks, showing photosynthesis evolved much earlier ...

With help from an experienced underwater cave-diving team, researchers have constructed the most complete map to date of the microbial communities living in the submerged labyrinths beneath Mexico's ...

Sequencing mammoth DNA has already helped scientists map out how these Ice Age giants evolved, migrated, and survived. But there's a hidden layer of history still waiting to be decoded – the microbes ...

The eastern Yucatán Peninsula study region is pierced by vast interconnected flooded tunnels, that function as underground rivers. The groundwater is the only source of potable water for the whole ...
