Replicating bacterial DNA relies on accordion-like folds to separate, researchers discover
When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...
Bioinformaticians from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and the university in Linköping (Sweden) have established that the genes in bacterial genomes are arranged in a meaningful order. In ...
Transposons are critical drivers of bacterial evolution that have been studied for many decades and have been the subject of Nobel Prize winning research. Now, researchers from Cornell University have ...

Top: Chromosome separate with functioning SMC in two models, line drawing and filled-space. The red and pink dots indicate, respectively, ori on each copy of DNA. Bottom: DNA separating without ...
Key PointsMost bacteria carry prophages-dormant bacteriophages integrated into their genomes-that can enhance bacterial fitness and virulence.When ...
