Bacterial genetics is the study of the mechanisms of heritable information in bacteria, their chromosomes, plasmids, transposons and phages. Techniques that have enabled this discipline are ...

Transformation is a genetic exchange mechanism by which “naked” DNA is taken up by bacteria. This newly acquired DNA may include genes that enable bacteria to perform tasks that were previously ...

Assessment of the bimodality in the distribution of bacterial genome sizes. The ISME Journal, Vol. 11, Issue. 3, p. 821. The study of bacterial genetics has revolutionised with the development of ...

Structure and metabolism of bacteria and their relation to the environment. Bacterial genetics. Eukaryote microbes - structure, physiology and genetics. Life cycle of viruses. Practical training in ...

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called ...

That's not too far from what happens in some prokaryotes, or single-cell organisms, such as bacteria, that undergo something called inversions. A study led by scientists at Stanford Medicine has shown ...

A cutting-edge genetic test can rapidly detect and identify almost any kind of disease-causing microorganism in the human body, whether it's a virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite, researchers say.
