A genomic study of gut microbes during antibiotic use finds selective sweeps in a DNA gyrase gene that drive resistance.

Bacteria are among the most diverse lifeforms on Earth, so it’s no surprise that their genomes have yielded a treasure trove of fascinating discoveries. The study of bacterial genomes has led to the ...

Gain precise, in-depth insights into microbial genomes with Illumina’s comprehensive Methods for Microbial Single-Genome Sequencing guide.

But existing tools cannot be used to apply single-cell RNA sequencing to examine all the molecular relationships between thousands of bacterial subspecies and the no-less impressive array of hosts.

These differences often come down to the genes in each bacterial genome, but it can be challenging to find and sequence rare strains. We have a lot of technologies to understand the microbiome in many ...

Amplicon-based sequencing approaches have been widely adopted for routine microbiology applications, including targeted 16S rRNA for bacterial taxonomic classification and tiled multiplex PCR for ...
