Borgs in Archaea

by Mechas
Microbes never cease to surprise, as should be evident to long-time STC readers. Now we are presented with a novel mechanism that allows archaea to expand their gene content and metabolic capacity. This unforeseen discovery also illustrates the importance not only of having the right tools (and funding) but also of being prepared to find the unexpected.

@nv @2Molars @Quinapalus oh hah, I am noob with social & hashtags & such, I didn't think of it. #borgs is OK, 1/2-jocular. #jlb if not jocular. Or, abstract topic is #olipiantranslationsoffamousworks, not just jlb, but that hashtag is too silly. Mayhap #oulipiantranslations is not too long?

Borgs are giant genetic elements with potential to expand metabolic capacity. we discovered extraordinarily large, diverse DNA sequences through studying groundwater, sediments and wetland soil where methane production and oxidation occur. These data suggest that Borgs might have previously unrecognized roles in the metabolism of this group of archaea, which are known to modulate greenhouse gas emissions,

#SlimeMoulds , #Science #Fungi And because its been far too long ,a slime mould post and one of the weirdest articles and aslime mould facts I have ever read :) bjut if you scroll down (quite far) it does also explain what slime moulds are ,bascially they are a bit like tiny benevolent #Borgs https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2018/3/6/17072380/slime-mold-intelligence-hampshire-college
