The sticky battle between microscopic worms and predatory fungi comes with a genetic trade-off
Researchers from Academia Sinica, Taiwan and the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen, Germany, have revealed how the nematode gene nhr-66 controls the production of cuticular collagens that ...
In darkness, a wormlike creature squirms. A tiny nematode weaves its way between grains of rock and particles of organic matter, through inverted forests of tree roots. It follows what it thinks is a ...
