A collaboration between researchers in Santa Cruz and Puebla, Mexico, is working to eliminate the bacterial genes driving ...

The ever-diverse fungi play several key roles in our day–to–day life. From facilitating ecological nutrient cycling, to being used in industrial manufacturing and being a key ingredient in our food, ...

Combining MAGE with CAGE allowed the genome to manipulated as an editable and evolvable template. Scientists have combined a recently developed technique known as multiplex automated genome ...

Conjugation has classically been considered a bacterium-to-bacterium DNA transfer driven by the donor cell and is typically plasmid-encoded. Theoretically it is possible that any type of cell can ...

In the second new research review on this subject, Assistant Prof. Ibrahim Bitar, Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital in Plzen, Charles University in Prague, Plzen, ...

In lab experiments, bacteria transferred plasmids with AMR genes in the presence of zinc at reduced or nonexistent rates. Stopping the transfer without killing microbes may help reduce AMR without ...

A new study by Tel Aviv University reveals how bacterial defense mechanisms can be neutralized, enabling the efficient transfer of genetic material between bacteria. The researchers believe this ...

Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine's Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health (CVD) have ...
