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 ...

Bacteria are constantly moving with the help of motility organs called flagella or pili to colonize new niches. Also, bacteria can exchange information, like "speaking to each other," and thus acquire ...

Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human ...

An international team of scientists have used advanced microscopy to image how ribosomes recruit to mRNA. Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell ...

There’s been this dream for decades. What if we could just print out an entire gene directly, one base at a time? —Daniel Lin-Arlow, Ansa Biotechnologies As scientists set their sights on cell and ...
