Fungi from herbivore poop make surprisingly complex compounds — an energetically expensive feat … Swift — verified that the fungi expressed biosynthetic gene clusters, which are “building blocks” of natural … products. The team then confirmed that these expressed genes translated into expected proteins. That work was done …

Meta-omics datasets show that CRISPR-Cas systems determine mutualism or parasitism between some archaeal hosts and … Then, using metagenomes and metatranscriptomes generated by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint … genomes, they found a huge variety of CRISPR-Cas systems. Generally, prokaryotes use CRISPR-Cas systems to recognize …
