Hong Kong authorities are using advanced genome sequencing to see whether separate infections or underlying factors ...

How do bacteria, lacking a nucleus, organize and pack their genome into the cell? Supercoiling enables this but forces a different kind of transcription and translation in prokaryotes. Aa Aa Aa ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism—a novel genomically recoded organism ...

"It appears that RapA and Rho work as complementary -- not redundant -- safeguards for genome stability when E. coli are subject to high-salt stress." The implications could be vast. Darst ...

We investigate this problem using synthetic cross-feeding interactions: by simply deleting two metabolic genes from the genome of Escherichia coli, we generated genotypes that require amino acids ...

These manipulations intend to introduce new functional features while meticulously balancing the native functions of replication, reproduction, and growth. Genome construction involves three basic ...

The European Commission has adopted legislation requiring EU countries to do Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) during foodborne ...

LBP-EC01 is a bacteriophage ‘cocktail’ that has been modified using CRISPR/Cas3 gene-editing to improve its ability to target the E coli genome. Lab studies have demonstrated it is ...
