Melainabacteria, a candidate phylum related to Cyanobacteria, has been identified in gut and sediment samples by genomic analysis.

Undulatory animals moving on the surface must manage material memory by either having a slender anatomy that facilitates avoiding previously remodeled substrate, or using waveshapes that effectively utilize the memory.

Subterranean fossil bone hosts a living microbiome different from the surrounding sediment without evidence of original protein preservation.

The bacterial DNA on the surface of human and mouse skin is primarily from dead bacteria while viable skin microbiome bacteria mostly colonize subsurface skin structures like hair follicles.

Analysis of genomic DNA composition of surface plankton communities reveals a stable, ocean basin-scale plankton biogeography that emerges from the intertwined effects of environmental variations and currents.

Abundant mitochondrial DNA of long-extinct large mammals in recent sediment of Siberian lakes suggests complex taphonomic redistribution.

Upon activation of T cell receptors at the contact site, T cells were substantially stiffened at the cell body as well as at the lamellipodia, which is mediated by Ca²⁺.

Horizontal gene transfer between distantly related bacterial species is frequent and widespread and can be efficiently identified using alignment-free methods.

Astyanax mexicanus surface-dwelling fish exposed to complete darkness develop many traits resembling cavefish adaptations by phenotypic plasticity in a single generation.
