New analytical methods developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have increased our understanding of how bacteria manage DNA. The methods have enabled researchers to ...
Every cell in every organism on Earth copies DNA the same way. Except one bacterial protein — quietly doing something ...
Cyanobacteria—ancient microbes that oxygenated Earth and made complex life possible—are still revealing surprises billions of years later. Scientists have now discovered that a molecular system once ...
Research has shed important new light on the enemies-turned-allies that allow bacteria to exchange genes, including those linked to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The insights, which expand our ...
Researchers have analyzed ancient DNA from Borrelia recurrentis, a type of bacteria that causes relapsing fever, pinpointing when it evolved to spread through lice rather than ticks, and how it gained ...
Throughout life, transcription is catalysed by a highly conserved enzyme called RNA polymerase (RNAP). In bacteria, the core enzyme has 5 subunits: an α dimer, β, β‘ and ω 1. Whilst this core is ...
High taxonomic diversity 1 and functional redundancy 2 are key features of the human gut microbiome and other complex microbial communities. These attributes are thought to underpin the resilience of ...
