Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments discovered gene fragments that indicated a new and previously undiscovered form ...

Vaginal microbes play a huge role in overall health, but researchers know relatively little about them. Citizen science could help change that.

This work has also created a kind of "treasure map" that investigators can use to fill in the gaps in our knowledge. | ...

Dysbiosis refers to an imbalance of microorganisms in the gut microbiota, which can lead to a wide range of health problems.

Much of the nitrous oxide entering the atmosphere from the oceans could be formed by a previously unknown inorganic route.
