Microbial genetics is the study of the mechanisms of heritable information in microorganisms, including bacteria, archaea, viruses and some protozoa and fungi. Non-pharmaceutical interventions for ...

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 ...

To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it into protein. But this step has been a visual mystery: scientists ...

The gut microbiome profoundly influences aging, and its modulation may support healthy aging and disease prevention. Aging is ...

A new study published in Nature unveils the mysterious world of microbial life shaping the rivers that millions of Americans ...

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 ...

Studying patients with PD-1 or PD-L1 deficiency may help inform new approaches to fine-tuning immunotherapies to maximise ...

Fighting bowel cancer with the bacteria Salmonella could be a step closer thanks to a new discovery by researchers at the ...

It has been a year ago since bacteria from war-wounded at hospitals in Ukraine were analyzed. The study showed that some of the bacteria types had total resistance to antibiotics. Now, the same ...

Newly developed halide perovskite nanocrystals (HPNCs) show potential as antimicrobial agents that are stable, effective and ...

A cutting-edge genetic test can rapidly detect and identify almost any kind of disease-causing microorganism in the human ...
