Meta-omics datasets show that CRISPR-Cas systems determine mutualism or parasitism between some archaeal hosts and their hitchhikers. The Science Within the archaeal domain, there is a group of tiny … hitchhikers. These organisms are abundant and yet exceptionally small, with mini genomes to match. As a result, they …

Researchers looked across many organisms to see that aminotransferase enzymes have evolved mix-and-match characteristics — creating many different ways of processing nitrogen. To boost crops more efficiently in the future, the evolutionary past may hold key insights. The way that plants …

Maize produces a family of compounds that protects it against infections — using surprisingly few enzymes. The Science Maize ( …
