To find life outside of Earth, we need to know under what sort of extreme conditions organisms are still able to thrive. When it comes to halophilic archaea, James Coker and Aida Moran-Reyna have now shown the effects of extreme pH levels on the archaea’s transcriptome. Coker shares more about the research in an interview on our blog.

Tying into this newly indexed article, we will be launching an Antibody Validation Collection soon. This unique and permanent collection will provide a platform for the publication of antibody validation studies regardless of the outcome, and aims to enhance the reliability and reproducibility of antibodies in scientific research. If you would like to submit the results of antibody validations in your own lab, please see our guidelines (pdf).
