Research is a way of generating [[Resources|'''resources''']], earning and upgrading [[Evolved Bacteria|'''Evolved Bacteria''']], and improving Bacteria production.
Most research types require some amount of time to be completed and use [[Resources#Scientists|'''Scientists''']], which are returned to the player after completion. New research types can be unlocked by destroying [[Planets|'''planets''']]. =Bacteria Evolution=Bacteria Evolution is the first research center available in the game. Each Bacteria Evolution research type has a chance to discover one Level 1 [[Evolved Bacteria|'''Evolved Bacteria''']]. In case of unsuccessful evolution, the player will earn regular [[Resources#Bacteria|Bacteria]]. Only one type of Bacteria Evolution can be researched at a time. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;" |-! scope="col" style="background-color:PaleTurquoise;"| Icon! scope="col" style="background-color:PaleTurquoise;"| Name! scope="col" style="background-color:PaleTurquoise;"| Drop chance! scope="col" style="background-color:PaleTurquoise;"| Time! scope="col" style="background-color:PaleTurquoise;"| Scientists|- |[[File:Gene transfer.png|80px]]|Gene transfer|5%|00:15:00|[[File:Scientist.png|20px]]1 |- |[[File:DNA synthesis.png|80px]]|DNA synthesis|10%|01:00:00|[[File:Scientist.png|20px]]1 |- |[[File:Gene duplication.png|80px]]|Gene duplication|30%|06:00:00|[[File:Scientist.png|20px]]1 |- |[[File:DNA amplification.png|80px]]|DNA amplification|75%|1 day 00:00:00|[[File:Scientist.png|20px]]1 |-

The ability to mutate [[Evolved Bacteria|'''Evolved Bacteria''']] is unlocked after destroying 4 [[planets]].
Mutation is instantaneous and it requires no Scientists. However, after it is complete, the player has to clean the lab before it can be again used for mutations. Cleaning takes 2 hours and requires 2 [[File:Scientist.png|20px|link=http://wiki.bacterialtakeover.com/index.php?title=Resources#Scientists]]
The default mutation cap is Level 3, which can be raised to Level 4 with '''[[the Ultimate Life Form]]''' tech at the '''[[Dark Matter Institute]]'''.

::::::::::::When calculating the mutation results, the [[Evolved_Bacteria#StatsEffect|'''statseffects''']] of Bacteria A and Bacteria B play an important role.
Mutating Bacteria with similar stats effects gives a better chance to obtain a good result.
Mutation results are calculated by taking the average values of Bacteria A and Bacteria B, so Bacteria with better effects usually give better results.
Even though higher level Bacteria generally have better statseffect, it is possible to mutate a Bacteria with weaker stats bonuses, especially if A and B are of different '''rarities'''.
In most cases, Bacteria C will boost have the same stats effects as either Bacteria A or Bacteria B. The exception is when C has more stats than A and B individually.
The name of C is random and does not depend on Bacteria A and B.
