Scientists from the Ineos Oxford Institute for antimicrobial research (IOI) have developed a new screening method to tackle ...

The Min protein system prevents abnormal cell division in bacteria by forming oscillating patterns between the ends of a cell ("poles"). Despite decades of theoretical work, predicting the protein ...

Scientists have identified essential genetic code for a method called plasmid curing, which aims to 'displace' antibiotic resistance genes from bacteria.

Worldwide, more than 500,000 children under age 5 die each year from gastrointestinal bacterial infections, largely in ...

While they've played a role in human evolution, they can also cause problems like cancer, brain disorders, and even aging.

Developed from a derivative of the immune system of bacteria ... Single-stranded DNA is also used in many technologies (sequencing, gene editing, molecular diagnostics, nanotechnology).

Bacterial chromosomes exist as highly organised three-dimensional structures maintained by a range of nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs). Highly-expressed genes are often found at the boundaries of ...
