Tardigrades have relatively small genomes – from 50 to 400 million bases. Despite being small, sequencing a tardigrade genome is not that easy. Few can be grown in culture (we use Hypsibius dujardini ...

Key findings highlight the role of horizontal gene transfer, the incorporation of foreign bacterial genetic material into the beetle genome, which is thought to be the result of earlier symbioses.

Following the spacewalk, the samples are stored in a freezer and will be brought down to Earth for detailed analysis, such as working out the type of bacteria, their genome, and more. The Russian ...

From these, we extracted extremely long fragments of DNA needed to produce a genome assembly. This is a digital representation of every base or “letter” that makes up the marsupial mole’s ...

Jan. 23, 2025 — Rising carbon dioxide levels affect more than just the climate; they also affect the chemistry of the oceans. When saltwater absorbs carbon dioxide, it becomes acidic, which ...
