The dangers of antibiotic overuse have become increasingly clear in recent decades. Excessive use accelerates the evolution of bacterial resistance to antibiotics, raising the alarming prospect of ...
Scientists say they have shed new light on how bacteria protect themselves from certain phage invaders -- by seizing genetic material from weakened, dormant phages and using it to 'vaccinate' ...
Researchers conducted a high-throughput growth assay and machine learning to address the genetic and environmental interplay on bacterial growth. The findings indicated that the environmental ...
Biomedical engineers at Brown University have developed a fully automated workflow that simplifies and accelerates the ...
Scientists at Murdoch University have read the full genetic code of bacteria from the salt lakes of Wadjemup (Rottnest Island ...
New Haven, Conn. — The 2025 Gruber Genetics Prize is being awarded to geneticist and molecular biologist Rotem Sorek, Ph.D., of the Weizmann Institute of Science, for his discoveries in the immune ...
No matter how much they brush their teeth, some people still get more cavities than others, in part because of differences in genetics and the make-up of the microbes in their mouths. A new study has ...
Natural transformation is a form of horizontal gene transfer by which bacteria internalise free DNA from their surroundings and integrate it into their genomes through homologous recombination. This ...
Researchers have now mapped gut microbiome changes across thousands of adults from 28 countries and linked specific bacterial ...
