Groundwater is considered the largest reservoir of liquid freshwater on Earth and a habitat for complex microbial communities that drive essential biogeochemical cycles. Until now, the role of viruses ...

When scientists sequence tumor DNA, they typically find small amounts of genetic code from bacteria, viruses and fungi—microorganisms that—if actually present in tumor tissues—could influence how they ...

A large-scale population metagenomic study has shed new light on the spatial heterogeneity of viral communities across the ...

When scientists sequence tumor DNA, they typically find small amounts of genetic code from bacteria, viruses and fungi – microorganisms that, if actually present in tumor tissues, could influence how ...

Groundwater hides dense communities of rock-bound microbes that shape water quality and help store carbon below ground.

In a new study published today in the journal mBio, researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) ...
