Researchers analyzed 168,464 samples to uncover how geographic and technical factors shape global gut microbiome variation, highlighting underrepresented regions and technical biases.

A research team at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) has made new insights into how the body forms immune cell ...

The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit contains the 16S rRNA, while in eukaryotes, it contains the 18S rRNA. These rRNAs are involved in mRNA binding and ...

Second, the detection of the 16S rRNA sequence conservation in all forms of cellular life provided the strongest possible support for Darwin's hypothesis of the common ancestry of life on Earth.

New research provides valuable insights into the urinary and intestinal microbiomes of individuals with spina bifida, a condition associated with an increased risk for UTIs. Read more.

By testing pilot-scale STRBs under varying sludge loading rates, the research employed advanced 16S rRNA sequencing to identify key microbial players responsible for nutrient removal and organic ...
