A complete metagenome-assembled genome of Acinetobacter pittii ST640, recovered from a human stool-derived mixed culture in Nigeria, reveals intrinsic resistance genes, prophages and close ties to geographically distant strains. Researchers have assembled and characterized AP66, a high-quality metagenome-assembled genome of Acinetobacter pittii,…
Google’s Tuike Finland subsidiary removed up to 400,000 trees near Muhos and Kajaani-Otanmäki before required assessments were finished Critics and environmental advocates describe the sequence as a textbook example of regulatory arbitrage by a well-resourced corporation.

The AI Biosecurity Lab (AIBL) will receive £100 million ($133.7 million) in government funding, alongside up to £200 million ($267.49 million) in commitments from OpenAI and Anthropic, as the U.K. moves to strengthen defences against biological risks emerging alongside increasingly capable AI. The initiative…
To sustainably supply the endangered Japanese eel, the development of cell-cultured eel is expected. However, there have been no spontaneously immortalized adipocyte cell lines in fish species, and the foundation for reproducing fat tissue has been limited. Kitasato University also…

The whole point of reproduction is that you produce more of your own species, right? Well, not exactly, and not if you are an Iberian harvester ant (Messor ibericus). Amazingly, this ant can propagate individuals of two different species by…
The present study does not itself demonstrate disease prevention or clinical benefit in humans. The researchers reanalyzed an older genome-wide association study dataset from B. glabrata snails experimentally challenged with S. mansoni. The analysis identified association signals at LG5R and LG11L. LG11L contains a cluster…
