Lines of bacterial genome sequences are made to evolve independently by introducing high-activity insertion sequences, each simulating decades of evolution in the wild in just weeks. The genome ...

Bacterial gene regulation is a finely tuned process essential for cellular adaptation and survival. Central to this regulation are nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs), which not only compact the ...

The genome structure — how genes are organized within DNA sequences in an organism — is fundamental to the processes and functions of organisms. A team at the University of Tokyo has developed a ...

Researchers describe the full molecular structure of the phage DEV. DEV infects and lyses Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, an opportunistic pathogen in cystic fibrosis and other diseases. DEV is part ...

Bacteria are among the most diverse lifeforms on Earth, so it’s no surprise that their genomes have yielded a treasure trove of fascinating discoveries. The study of bacterial genomes has led to the ...

November 20, 2024 – Genome Research (https://genome.org) publishes a special issue highlighting advances in long-read sequencing applications in biology and medicine. In this first of two Special ...

Scientists who have described in a new study the step-by-step details of a bacterial defense strategy see the mechanism as a promising platform for development of a new genome-editing method.
