Bacteriophages, the most abundant life form on Earth, infect bacterial cells and influence the structure of the microbial ...

A new on-site DNA sequencing method that can deliver bacterial infection diagnoses in 2 days could be rolled out nationwide ...

Transposons, or "jumping genes"—DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another—are key to bacterial ...

Conjugation is a form of horizontal gene transfer that allows the exchange of genetic material between two organisms or cells ...

Researchers have uncovered mechanisms by which mobile genetic elements integrate into the chromosomes of bacteria with linear genomes.

Bacteria commonly produce toxins that are lethal to themselves, but also produce the required antitoxins. These toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems may be useful in modifying bacteria for biotechnology ...

In the pursuit of understanding the pathogenic expression mechanisms of bacteria and the advancements in biofoundry ...

Transposons, or 'jumping genes' -- DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another -- are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance. Researchers ...

Researchers have discovered a handful of new CRISPR-Cas systems that could add to the capabilities of the already transformational gene editing and DNA manipulation toolbox. Of the new recruits, one ...

Abstract Genome-wide identification of binding profiles for DNA-binding proteins from the limited number of intracellular pathogens in infection ...
