CNVs form at a faster rate than other types of mutation, and seem to do so by similar mechanisms in bacteria ... Effects of chromosome architecture CNVs are not randomly distributed in the ...

Are genes distributed randomly along the bacterial chromosome, as if scattered from a salt shaker? This opinion, which is held by a majority of researchers, has now been disputed by a team of ...

Researchers in Montana say they have found a way to turn fungus into a brick, which could eventually offer a more sustainable ...

Caption During the replication of the bacterial chromosome, genes close to the replication start point (red) exist in multiple copies, while genes close to the endpoint do not (blue). At faster ...

Accordingly, their position influences how their activity changes with the growth rate. Are genes distributed randomly along the bacterial chromosome, as if scattered from a salt shaker? This opinion, ...

Scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have uncovered a surprising way in which harmful bacteria prepare to attack their hosts. The discovery, led by Ph.D. students Lior Aroeti ...

Exposure to colibactin in early childhood imprints a distinct genetic signature on the DNA of colon cells that can increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Young adults diagnosed with colorectal ...

coli, unlike most antibiotics that target replication hotspots near the chromosome origin. Saccharin treatment resulted in a loss of cell morphology and filamentation in E. coli. Bacterial cells ...

Affected populations: Nocardiosis is a rare but potentially deadly infectious disease caused by bacteria in the genus Nocardia. Nocardiosis is an opportunistic infection, meaning it doesn't ...
