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 to ...

New research reveals that bacteria form species and maintain cohesion through frequent DNA exchange within species. This ...

This process is called non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR; also known as ectopic HR), and is discussed below. Change in copy number involves change in the structure of the chromosomes such ...

A study by Georgia Tech researchers finds that bacteria maintain species cohesion through homologous recombination, a form of frequent and random DNA exchange. This process keeps microbial species ...

One of the most notable examples of recombination takes place during meiosis (specifically, during prophase I), when homologous chromosomes line up in pairs and swap segments of DNA. This process ...

“When DNA damaged by radiation therapy was repaired by a method called homologous recombination cancer cells died during the process of reproducing – a process called cell division or mitosi ...

"When DNA damaged by radiation therapy was repaired by a method called homologous recombination, cancer cells died during the process of reproducing—a process called cell division or mitosis.
