When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...
Top: Chromosome separate with functioning SMC in two models, line drawing and filled-space. The red and pink dots indicate, respectively, ori on each copy of DNA. Bottom: DNA separating without ...
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 ...
Red arrows indicate the DNA repair pathways that are known to aid bacterial survival as persisters and gamblers in the presence of fluoroquinolones. Blue color arrow indicates downregulation, while ...
Scientists at Stanford University have discovered that DRT3, a unique defense system found in bacteria, creates DNA to protect against viral infections. DRT3 is made up of two different enzymes called ...
The ability to precisely edit the genomes of bacteria has long been a goal of microbiologists. Such technology would enable ...
Research has shed important new light on the enemies-turned-allies that allow bacteria to exchange genes, including those linked to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The insights, which expand our ...
PHILADELPHIA — Deep in the mangrove swamps of the Caribbean lives a giant bacterium with a surprise trick for organizing its DNA. Thiovulum imperiosus wraps its genetic material in membranous fingers, ...
A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...
