Researchers found that SMC proteins drive bacterial DNA separation by compacting chromosomes lengthwise, generating repulsive ...

Transposons are critical drivers of bacterial evolution that have been studied for many decades and have been the subject of Nobel Prize winning research. Now, researchers from Cornell University have ...

Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...

The researchers, led by chemistry professor Zan Luthey-Schulten at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, present their findings in the journal Cell. In two videos, researchers describe the work ...

Gene and cell therapy is moving fast – and in a clear direction. Programs are pushing toward more complex payloads, virus-free engineering, and manufacturing models that can scale from early research ...

Some bacteria do not defeat antibiotics by evolving resistance right away—they outlast treatment by slipping into ...

Bioinformaticians from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and the university in Linköping (Sweden) have established that the genes in bacterial genomes are arranged in a meaningful order. In ...
