Ocean water samples yield treasure trove of RNA virus data

Ocean water samples collected around the world have yielded a treasure trove of new data about RNA viruses, expanding ecological research possibilities and reshaping our understanding of how these small but significant submicroscopic ...

New CRISPR element regulates viral defense

What tasks need to be done today, and which is the most urgent? People have to constantly set priorities in their daily life. Bacteria are no different: They too must prioritize when combating viruses with CRISPR. However, ...

Understanding genomes, piece by piece

The celebrated physicist Richard Feynman is credited with the quote, "What I cannot create, I do not understand." As well as informing Feynman's approach to theoretical physics, it's a good way of describing the motivations ...

DisCo: Boosting the efficiency of single-cell RNA sequencing

Single-cell RNA sequencing, or "scRNA-seq" for short, is a technique that allows scientists to study the expression of genes in an individual cell within a mixed population—which is virtually how all cells exist in the ...
