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, ...

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 ...

Researchers turned programmable proteins into a novel genetic tool, potentially enabling tighter control of gene expression. LacI is a tetrameric protein, using two dimers to bind two specific, ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

Analysing the gene activity of every single bacterial cell in a colony? A new technique of single-cell transcriptomics developed in W rzburg can do this much more efficiently than other methods: It ...

A research team, consisting of Professor Jongmin Kim, PhD candidates Jeongwon Kim, Minchae Seo, and Yelin Lim from the Department of Life Sciences at POSTECH, has developed an RNA-based sensor ...

In 1933, geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for demonstrating that genes exist on chromosomes, which are passed down from parent to offspring. Ninety-one years ...

Groundbreaking research reveals that human microbes can trigger genetic brain activity in other species, suggesting our ...

The current study explored how macronutrients in the host diet are involved in gut colonization and competition by V.

A research team at the Hebrew University has shown that bacteria can survive antibiotic exposure via two distinct ...
