Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't ...

Genomic analysis shows SAR11 bacteria, adapted to low-nutrient oceans, lack key cell cycle controls. As conditions change, ...

SAR11 bacteria dominate the world’s oceans by being incredibly efficient, shedding genes to survive in nutrient-poor waters.

A group of ocean bacteria long considered perfectly adapted to life in nutrient-poor waters may be more vulnerable to ...

Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the ...

Researchers have uncovered a microscopic weapon that can literally tear viruses apart from the inside, a single protein that turns a cell’s own DNA into a tripwire. Instead of blocking infection at ...

A new study finds that a trait helping a marine bacterium survive and flourish today may ultimately become its Achilles Heel as ocean conditions continue to shift.

Common ocean bacteria struggle to divide when conditions change, reshaping how warming seas affect ecosystems.

Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't ...

One of the most abundant living organisms on Earth may also be one of the most vulnerable. A group of ocean bacteria known as ...
