Bacterial chromosome segregation is a fundamental process ensuring accurate distribution of genetic material during cell division. Central to this process is the ParABS system, comprising the ...

In a recent study published in the Microorganisms journal, researchers in China reviewed the uses of bacterial-artificial-chromosome (BAC)-based genome editing techniques in herpesvirus research.

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 ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- 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.

Bioinformaticians have established that the genes in bacterial genomes are arranged in a meaningful order. They describe that the genes are arranged by function: If they become increasingly important ...

We are all collections of cells, each cell containing the instructions—our DNA—to become any other cell. What differentiates a heart cell from a skin cell from a brain cell is the expression—or ...

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 ...

An investigation into cellular components in bacteria has unexpectedly uncovered a feature with relevance across many life ...

Agrobacterium tumefaciens magnified 15,000 times in an image captured earlier this year with a scanning electron microscope at Iowa State University's Roy J. Carver High Resolution Microscopy Facility ...

Research shows synthetic chromosomes can be transferred to human cells with potential to improve viral resistance ...
