It is more common to utilise bacteria in an aquatic environment. The process can be carried out on either land or water, but has gained some attention in […]

Then, it stopped at the end of the Carboniferous period. What happened? A team of 71 researchers from 12 countries, including the U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (JOE JGI), published their study in the […]
