Researchers uncover key mechanisms in gene regulation that may lead to better design of RNA-based medicines.

This manuscript describes an important finding of the transcriptional control of a chimeric gene transfer agents (GTA) cluster in Bartonella by a processive anti-termination factor (BrrG). The ...

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

Methanol is metabolized into the natural gas methane by many microbes living under Earth’s surface, but its source has been unclear. It emerges that some bacteria convert formate molecules into ...

The evolutionary success of leaf beetles, the most varied herbivores on Earth, was investigated by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena, Max Planck Institute of ...

Aston Villa are set to sign Levante right-back Andres Garcia for a fee of around £6m. The 21-year-old currently operates in the second division in Spain with the Valencian club and has been ...

A day after a “mystery illness” claimed three more children in Baddal village in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district, experts investigating it have ruled out any viral, bacterial or microbial ...

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.

Gene therapy has been available since 2022 for hemophilia B and since 2023 for hemophilia A, yet some major medical institutions have barely treated any patients so far. What’s the holdup ...

Excitingly, the team used genetic approaches to show that the same gene mutation in wheat enhances colonization by nitrogen fixing bacteria and AMF in field conditions too. The findings represent ...

The biggest move of the January transfer window so far could be finalised today, so stick with TEAMtalk for all the latest updates. Our live blog will keep you up to date with the latest ...

Researchers at the University of Waterloo say they've made a breakthrough in introducing a new trait into bacteria found in wastewater, giving them the ability to break down microplastics.
