Integrative Network Modeling Reveals Key Drought-Associated Genes Key in the Soil Microbiome
Researchers performed a combined analysis of metabolic and gene co-expression networks to explore how the soil microbiome responds to changes in moisture and nutrient conditions.
Drought Spells Changes for Soil Microbes
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Kansas State University found that soil drying significantly affected the structure and function of soil microbial communities.
Using the Metaproteome to Uncover the Microbiome of the Complex Soil Environment
Scientists can now generate a protein database directly from proteomics data gathered from a specific soil sample using a digital tool and deep learning computer model called Kaiko.
Harnessing Microorganisms to Benefit the Environment
Scientists at PNNL have published a new article that focuses on understanding the composition, dynamics, and deployment of beneficial soil microbiomes to get the most out of soil.
Glowing Progress in Pathogen Discovery
Researchers at PNNL have developed a bacteria testing system called OmniScreen that combines biological and synthetic chemistry with machine learning to hunt down pathogens before they strike.
Twelve PNNL Researchers Present at Virtual Metabolomics Conference
Twelve researchers from PNNL presented at the 2020 Metabolomics Association of North America virtual conference in mid-September. Their presentations included a plenary talk, keynote talks, oral presentations, posters, and a lightning talk.
