DNA methylation in bacteria, primarily involving the addition of methyl groups to adenine or cytosine residues, constitutes a pivotal epigenetic mechanism that modulates gene expression without ...
How do bacteria - harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease - organize their activities? A new study, combining powerful genomic-scale microscopy with a technical innovation, ...
While CRISPR may be the most notable genetic technology to emerge from microbes, many of the tools researchers use to control genes and their products are borrowed from bacterial systems. One of these ...
In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...
A research team, consisting of Professor Jongmin Kim, PhD candidates Jeongwon Kim, Minchae Seo, and Yelin Lim from the Department of Life Sciences at POSTECH, has developed an RNA-based sensor ...
WORCESTER, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) researcher Natalie Farny is launching a $1.2 million, five-year project that could advance the use of bacteria for ...
In 1933, geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for demonstrating that genes exist on chromosomes, which are passed down from parent to offspring. Ninety-one years ...
siMecA-AGO2 complex inhibits the translation of the mecA gene which encodes the penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a), a protein at the heart of the drug-resistance phenotype in MRSA. By reducing ...
A 'loopy' discovery in bacteria is raising fundamental questions about the makeup of our own genome -- and revealing a potential wellspring of material for new genetic therapies. A "loopy" discovery ...
A new study finds the proteins responsible for controlling which genes are expressed in a genome do more than simply turn a ...
Cellular homeostasis and stress response are tightly coordinated processes involving a complex interplay between signaling ...
