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 ...
Discover how CRISPR genome editing is revolutionizing medicine. Learn the science of Cas9, current clinical trials, and the ...
Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...
The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...
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, ...
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, ...
Given the growing antibiotic resistance crisis, novel ways to target bacterial infections are becoming increasingly important. One potential strategy is to manipulate bacterial genes at the ...
