In a new study, terrestrial bacteria-infecting viruses were still able to infect their E. coli hosts in near-weightless ...
Among the most famous demonstrations of genetic mutations driving infection outcome is severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID ...
The International Space Station (ISS) is a closed ecosystem, and the biology inside it — including its microbial residents — ...
The divergence of new genes and proteins occurs through mutations that modulate protein function. The effects of these mutations are pleiotropic, thus imposing trade-offs between selection pressures ...
In 1971, biologists moved five adult pairs of Italian wall lizards from their home island of Pod Kopiste, in the South Adriatic Sea, to the neighboring island of Pod Mrcaru. Now researchers have shown ...
