NtRON Bio announced today, following its recent U.S. patent application related to colorectal cancer using the IMPA™ phage engineering technology, it has now completed the filing of two patents for a ...

Chromosome segregation and site-specific recombination are central processes in bacterial cell division and genome maintenance. The orchestration of these events ensures that circular chromosomes ...

New research shows bacteria form distinct species and maintain cohesion through frequent DNA exchange via homologous recombination.

Article Title Natural selection and recombination at host-interacting lipoprotein loci drive genome diversification of Lyme disease and related bacteria ...

Abstract Evolution of bacterial pathogen populations has been detected in a variety of ways including phenotypic tests, such as metabolic activity, reaction to antisera and drug resistance and ...

The study reveals that bacteria form distinct species and maintain cohesion through frequent DNA exchange via homologous recombination.

A genetic analysis of Lyme disease bacteria may pave the way for improved diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the tick-borne ailment.

When Kostas Konstantinidis proved that many bacteria—like plants and animals—are organized into species, he upended a long-held scientific belief. Scientists widely believed that bacteria, due ...
