Results tuned to biology
4Biology is a focused search engine built for biology students, researchers, educators, and lab managers. We combine multiple indexes, curated sources, and AI tools to surface publications, protocols, datasets, suppliers, and learning resources that matter to life scientists. Use the site to save time, find specialized resources, and get context-specific search results not optimized for general web traffic. Part of the 4SEARCH network of topic specific search engines.

Metagenomic Sequencing Reveals a Hidden World of Bacteriophages in the Ganga River
11+ min ago (619+ words) Metagenomic sequencing of water from the Ganga River at Haridwar has uncovered thousands of viral species dominated by tailed bacteriophages, offering the first detailed genomic view of the river's phageome and its potential for environmental and therapeutic applications....
Common Antibiotic Calms Children’s Wheezing by Rewriting Inflammatory Memory in Lung Immune Cells
1+ hour, 39+ min ago (667+ words) A new study shows azithromycin eases post-inflammatory wheezing in children by inhibiting SETD1B-driven H3K4me3 methylation and rebalancing macrophage polarization in the lung....
Can Gene Editing Give Seeds a Stronger Start?
1+ day, 13+ hour ago (123+ words) Reagan Reed has a way of describing his research that might make a plant breeder pause. “I’m the sort of person who likes to break things to understand them,” he says. What he breaks are genes involved in seed germination....
Tiny Signaling Peptides: Rice DEVIL Genes Reveal Hidden Breeding Potential
2+ hour, 2+ min ago (717+ words) A comprehensive new study identifies five DEVIL family genes in rice and shows that their haplotype diversity across 3,010 accessions is linked to stress responses and key yield traits, opening new avenues for marker-assisted breeding....
Hidden Antarctic microbe turns iron into stone beneath the ice shelf
2+ hour, 12+ min ago (604+ words) Scientists discovered a novel iron-oxidizing bacterium beneath Antarctica's Larsen C Ice Shelf whose Cyc2 enzyme, functionally confirmed in the lab, offers a sunlight-free model for how ancient banded iron formations may have formed....
Tiny Ceria Dots on Yttria Host Deliver Powerful New Sun Protection
2+ hour, 33+ min ago (415+ words) Researchers have created a nanocomposite of ceria quantum dots anchored to yttrium oxide nanoparticles that shields human skin cells from UV damage while scavenging reactive oxygen species using only about 11 percent cerium by weight....
