Biology is designed for multi-semester biology courses for science majors. It is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand. To meet the needs of today’s instructors and students, some content has been strategically condensed while maintaining the overall scope and coverage of traditional texts for this course. Instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand—and apply—key concepts.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"Amplicon sequencing has made the business of identifying bacteria directly from environmental samples routine work, but there’s much room for improvement. Long-read sequencing technologies have helped cover the information gaps that plague short-read sequencing, but obtaining accurate results from complex metagenomes remains a challenge. A new study reports how LoopSeq can help boost microbial detection accuracy. Building on previous synthetic long-read (SLR) technologies, LoopSeq uses barcode-based molecular counting to construct accurate long reads from short-read sequences. Experiments confirmed that LoopSeq produces long reads with low error rates. In fact, LoopSeq produced more error-free reads of different lengths compared with other commercially available long-read technologies, and in a real-world test of six samples of US retail meat. LoopSeq could differentiate between strains within species of bacteria identified by the CDC as potential foodborne pathogens..."
