Bluetools researchers have developed a new ultrahigh throughput screening method to find genes that interfere with bacterial communication. The study identifies a previously unknown mechanism from one of Earth’s most …
The first Citizen Science Event of the BLUETOOLS project took place on Saturday 25th April 2025 in Trondheim, Norway. Our project partner SINTEF organised a dedicated stand at the “Barnas …
Researchers have identified a new light sensitive protein that could expand our understanding of optogenetics. The study focuses on a novel channelrhodopsin discovered in a lake microbiome. These proteins act …
A new study from the Bluetools project sheds light on how bacteria control key survival strategies. The research focuses on a specific modification in transfer RNA, known as queuosine. This …
The Nagoya Protocol on ‘Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization (ABS)’ represented a deep transformation on the discovery and use …
A series of events is organised by the EU project cluster “Enzymes for greener products” formed by the RADICALZ, along with the projects OXIPRO, ENXYLASCOPE, FUTURENZYME from 8th to 9th April 2025. …

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.
