How would you make transcription and translation work when you no longer have a nucleus? Bacteria have an interesting answer. Attenuation, or dampening, of the trp operon is made possible by the ...

How do bacteria—harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease—organize their activities? A new study, ...

These symbiotic relationships provide clues as to how genetic material was exchanged between bacteria and beetles. Key findings highlight the role of horizontal gene transfer, the incorporation of ...

Almost all bacterial genomes show evidence of past LGT events, and the phenomenon is known to have profound effects on microbial biology. This DNA-sharing process, known as horizontal or lateral gene ...

How do bacteria - harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease - organize their activities? A new study, combining powerful genomic-scale microscopy with a technical innovation, ...

In this issue (p. 916), Chua and colleagues describe such a system, based on a selectable marker that eliminates the need for any bacterial antibiotic resistance gene. Their vector imparts ...

The bacteria they studied ... But Paul says the findings "raise new questions about the role of gene transfer in human health, but also in terms of just how these transposons are controlled ...

Gene-edited soil bacteria can supply corn with up to 35 pounds of nitrogen per acre from the atmosphere during early growth, potentially reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers.

A recent study from the University of Illinois shows that gene-edited bacteria can supply the equivalent of 35 pounds of nitrogen from the air during early corn growth, which may reduce the crop ...

A University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign study testing a gene-edited bacterial inoculant found it supplied up to 35 pounds of nitrogen to corn during early growth. If corn was ever jealous of ...
