"Conserved Microbial Network Unveils Clues for Forensic Science"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Nature.com

Researchers have discovered a universal network of microbes that respond to cadaver decomposition, despite variations in climate, location, and season. The study used multi-omic data to reveal that a conserved interdomain soil microbial decomposer network assembles in response to mammalian remains, with evidence of increased metabolic efficiencies to process lipid- and protein-rich compounds. Key members of the microbial decomposer network are associated with various mammalian carrion, suggesting that they are not human-specific. The findings have implications for forensic science, agriculture, sustainability, and the human death care industry.

Mapping the Complex World of DNA Repair in Cells.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by University of California San Diego

Scientists at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine have created a new map that shows the complex system of DNA damage response (DDR) in the human body. DDR is a network of cell-cycle checkpoints and DNA damage repair tools that help maintain the integrity of the genome and support normal functioning and health. The new map, which uses multi-omics and machine learning, shows a hierarchical organization of 605 proteins in 109 assemblies that captures canonical repair mechanisms and proposes new DDR-associated proteins linked to stress, transport, and chromatin functions within cells.
