Here, the authors exploit the genetic information encoded in Klebsiella prophages to model the interplay between bacteria, prophages, and their depolymerases, using a directed acyclic graph-model and a sequence clustering-based model.

Diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs) accelerate evolution by rapidly diversifying variable proteins. The human gastrointestinal microbiota harbors the greatest density of DGRs known in nature, su...

Nucleotide triphosphate (NTP)-dependent molecular switches regulate essential cellular processes by cycling between active and inactive states through nucleotide binding and hydrolysis. These mechanis...

Peptidoglycan, the major constituent of bacterial cell walls, is a giant macromolecule made of glycan strands cross-linked by short peptides, which pr…

Samoa's Critically Endangered Tooth-billed Pigeon, or 'little dodo', is facing imminent extinction due to deforestation, hunting and invasive species, reports BirdGuides. Conservationists warn that without urgent international funding for large-scale forest protection and monitoring, this unique and elusive bird could vanish forever. Tooth-billed Pigeon is one of the world's most evolutionarily distinct birds, yet remains poorly known, with no clear wild photographs and few recent sightings.
