Traditionally, antibiotic discovery has centered on bacteria and fungi—until now. For the first time, we present a systematic exploration of Archaea—a major yet underexplored branch of the tree of life—as a source of novel antimicrobial compounds. Using AI, we analyzed

Sad news. John McDowell (John McDowell) has passed away. John significantly contributed to the molecular genetics of oomycetes, shaping the field with innovative research and collaborative spirit. He was kind and supportive; a mentor, and friend to many in the community. RIP.

My time in industry convinced me of the importance of basic, government funded science research. It was crazy how much of the stuff we did was based directly on academic research that in-and-of-itself would have been too risky and/or too low-return for the company to do

I am happy to see this out! Plant-microbe relationship (mutualistic, commensalistic, parasitic) is not fixed, but rather dynamic, depending on the specific context. We summarize the current knowledge on this. Hope you enjoy~ jstage.jst.go.jp/article/plantb…

Have you ever run into problems when a project stops working because a package was updated? The renv R package makes it easy to create isolated project environments, so your code always runs with the same package versions it was written with. This ensures stability and makes
