A newly published research study has explored the functional potential of pro- and synbiotics, using multi-omic datasets in order to account for the full scope of changes in the host fish and its gut microbiota. These findings may help the animal production industry to further their use of microbiome-associated tools.
The protein subunit vaccine, which can be manufactured using engineered yeast, has shown promise in preclinical studies.
A new study carried out by researchers at Center for Evolutionary Hologenomics and colleagues offers a more holistic view on host and microbiota signals in rainbow trout.
New research from MIT has shown that the health benefits of wind power could be significantly increased if operators prioritized reducing output from the most polluting fossil-fuel-based power plants when energy from wind is available.
A 40-hertz sensory stimulation could be a remedy in treating Alzheimer’s disease, according to two early-stage clinical studies produced by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
A team of scientists from the Center for Theoretical Physics is spearheading efforts to evaluate the principles of quantum gravity using a quantum processor.
A machine-learning model for image classification that’s trained using synthetic data can rival one trained on the real thing, a study shows.
The new PhageLeads resource uses machine learning to provide a free tool for researchers to rapidly assess therapeutic suitability for specific phages. This is an important step towards successfully using phages as a type of therapeutics for treating bacterial infections.
Researchers at the University of Washington have developed a new test for COVID-19 that combines the speed of over-the-counter antigen tests with the accuracy of PCR tests that are processed in medical labs and hospitals.
Though they may be small, microorganisms are the most abundant form of life in the ocean.
Accidentally trapping sharks, seabirds, marine mammals, sea turtles and other animals in fishing gear is one of the biggest barriers to making fisheries more sustainable around the world.
A new cleaning method could remove dust on solar installations in water-limited regions, improving overall efficiency.
Glacier ice is usually thought of as brittle. You can drill a hole in an ice sheet, like into a rock, and glaciers crack and calve, leaving behind vertical ice cliffs.
Membranes are crucial to our cells. Every cell in your body is enclosed by one. And each of those cells contains specialized compartments, or organelles, which are also enclosed by membranes.
Researchers from the Center for Evolutionary Hologenomics have successfully managed to separate resident and transient microorganisms in the gut microbiome of small fish, marking an important step towards better use of host-microbiome interactions especially in aquaculture.
Beating the bite of mosquitoes this spring and summer could hinge on your attire and your skin.
Chemical engineers use neural networks to discover the properties of metal-organic frameworks, for catalysis and other applications.
Farmers struggling to adapt to rising temperatures in tropical regions can unleash the benefits of natural cooling, alongside a host of other wins, simply by dotting more trees across their pasturelands.
MIT chemical engineers create affordable, sustainable soap-based system to eliminate emerging micropollutants in water.
Professor and Center Director Tom Gilbert is exploring the possibilities of bringing back the extinct Christmas Island rat through genomic sequencing in a new study published in Current Biology. However, the hologenomic perspective brings nuance to the core of de-extinction.
