microorganism

Mr. Gutman is the founder of Primer’s Yeast, a company that sells ancient strains of the microorganism.

Infection occurs when a virus, bacteria, or other disease-causing microorganism enters a human’s body and begin to multiply.

"Essentially, one of the tools we developed leverages the structure of this graph in order to determine which pieces of DNA appear repeatedly either across microbes or within the same microorganism."

The study of the variability of microorganism populations has been possible thanks to the large-scale application of molecular techniques such as metagenomics and metatranscriptomics, which have revolutionized the ability to analyze these populations directly from their habitats, overcoming some of the limitations of traditional laboratory culture methods.
