Q&A: Using a new approach to shine a light on hidden plant microbes
Despite there being more microbes on Earth than stars in our galaxy, only a tiny fraction have been discovered. An approach called metagenomics — a type of DNA sequencing — may help scientists learn more about these elusive organisms, according to Penn State researchers.
