A recent study from Bluetools partners at the CSIC-INTA and Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, published in Scientific Reports, reveals that a single molecule of bacterial origin — queuosine (Q) — may play a critical role in regulating gene expression in eukaryotes.
Bluetools partners at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, have identified and characterised a light-gated ion channel named HulaCCR1, discovered through metatranscriptomic analysis of a unicellular eukaryotic community in Lake Hula, Israel.
BlueTools scientists have developed a new cloud-based workflow called the Metagenomics-Toolkit that uses machine learning to optimise computational efficiency.
