While industrial paper-making creates a massive bottleneck of toxic, lignocellulosic waste, a new multi-omics study has mapped exactly how a unique yeast strain overcomes this hostile environment to unlock new possibilities for bio-production. If you are a plant,...
MORF-Bio began with a challenge familiar to many researchers, not a lack of data, but a lack of accessible insight. The DETOX project, funded by IB Catalyst and led by Prof. Gavin Thomas at the University of York, set out to improve microbial strains for industrial...
MORF reveals new biology in a foodborne pathogen How do pathogenic bacteria sometimes gain a foothold in the human body? Why do the same bacteria sometimes cause infections, and sometimes remain harmless? These are questions of vital importance for modern medicine,...
Super-resolution fluorescence imaging of a CyanoTag line. Scale bar: 5 μm. Researchers from University of York’s Department of Biology have produced new visual data revealing the organisation of cellular components. Under the leadership of Dr Abi Perrin and Professor...
