By mimicking nature, scientists make a breakthrough in breaking down wood.

The popular approach of organizing soil bacteria into fast- or slow-growing groups is problematic because most bacteria grow at comparable rates in soil.

Metabolomics analysis revealed differences in metabolome profiles for two distinct modes of fungal wood decay.

The ChemSpace Tool, when fully developed, is intended to divide chemical space into three subsets: the detectable space, the identifiable space, and the region that includes compounds that are not detectable or identifiable.

Sarah Frazar was recently elected chair of the Board of Trustees for the World Affairs Council of Seattle.

Methods review suggests ways to use artificial intelligence and machine learning to handle missing data when integrating two or more omics approaches.

COVID-19 infections at PNNL early in the pandemic were caused by a wide variety of viral sequences, according to a new analysis by Laboratory researchers.

Ann Lesperance has been invited to continue her role on the Domestic Preparedness advisory board, which convenes multidisciplinary subject matter experts to support the Domestic Preparedness Journal's editorial plan.

Brian Milbrath, a physicist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), was selected as a new Task Leader for the PrepCom’s Working Group B.
