A team led by Jill Banfield The Banfield Lab discovered portable packets of DNA that turbo-boost their host’s methane metabolism. Dubbed Borgs(a nod to #StarTrek) because the DNA within is assimilated from many organisms. #BioEGSB Earth and Environmental Sciences at Berkeley Lab UC Berkeley bit.ly/3guM5Tt
