A diverse group of researchers is working to turn new discoveries about the trillions of microbes in the body into treatments for a range of…
The Zoonomia Project has released this vast dataset to advance both biomedical research and biodiversity conservation. An international team of researchers with an effort called…
A CRISPR-based test developed at MIT and the Broad Institute can detect nearly as many cases as the standard Covid-19 diagnostic. Since the start of…
Researchers identify nearly 8,000 strains of bacteria, while also clarifying their genetic and metabolic context. The human digestive tract is home to thousands of different…
A team of scientists at the Broad Institute, the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Massachusetts General Hospital have developed a…
Using structural knowledge of Cas9, scientists have overcome a key CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing hurdle and developed a highly specific genome-editing tool. Researchers at the Broad…
A team of scientists from MIT, Harvard and Wageningen University have developed a new system for human genome editing that has potential to increase the…
Deadly to targeted bacteria, engineered particles known as phagemids have been created to fight bacterial infections with great effectiveness while eliminating harmful side effects of…
Researchers from the Broad Institute have developed a tool known as the Composite of Multiple Signals (CMS) test to detect the genetic signals of positive…
With microbes outnumbering human cells by 10 to 1, the Human Microbiome Project (HMP) Consortium looks at how these microorganisms coexist with their human hosts…
