The recent outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 underscores the need for understanding the evolutionary processes that drive the emergence and adaptation of zoonotic viruses in humans. Here, we show that...
Biomedical research suffers from a translation gap, where most treatments that seem effective when tested on animals turn out not to work in human patients. This is likely due in large part...
The necrobiome is the community of organisms that use or are affected by decomposing organic matter. Decomposing organic matter comes in the form of dead plant matter (biomass) or that of de...
