Our Science
New Research Finds Flagella in the Terrestrial Roots of Marine Bacteria
Scientists have discovered flagella in an unexpected place: hot spring-dwelling bacteria. Research shows that flagella were lost in other forms of Chloroflexota that adapted to marine environments hundreds of millions of years ago

Sequencing Sphagnum Leads to Discovery of Sex Chromosomes
Boggy peatlands are primarily made up of sphagnum mosses. New research illuminates the significant role sex plays in how the moss grows, stores carbon and responds to stress.

Tracing the Evolution of Shiitake Mushrooms
Understanding Lentinula genomes and their evolution could provide strategies for converting plant waste into sugars for biofuel production. Additionally, these fungi play a role in the global carbon cycle.

Our Projects
Genome Insider: Methane Makers in Yosemite’s Lakes
Meet researchers who sampled the microbial communities living in the mountaintop lakes of the Sierra Nevada mountains to see how climate change affects freshwater ecosystems, and how those ecosystems work.

Shedding Light on Diversity in the Deep Sea
Hydrothermal vents are too deep in the sea to get any sunlight, and yet they still support a unique array of microorganisms adapted to living in extreme conditions.Researchers studied microbial communities at these vents across five oceanic regions.

Streamlining Regulon Identification in Bacteria
Regulons are a group of genes that can be turned on or off by the same regulatory protein. RIViT-seq technology could speed up associating transcription factors with their target genes.

Enlarging Windows into Understanding Gene Functions
Two approaches build up DAP-seq, which allows researchers to identify all the sites where transcription factors bind quickly and efficiently in the genome by adding tagged transcription factors to a genomic DNA library.
