In their landmark 1961 paper on the lac operon, Nobel laureates François Jacob and Jacques Monod speculated that RNA might control gene activity in bacteria through base-pairing interactions. But once ...
Researchers have developed an AI tool that can help determine whether unfamiliar bacteria carry genetic features linked to ...
The first large-scale genetic study of E. coli's protective armor has identified the five capsule types that are responsible ...
Rice bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, remains a major threat to global food security. Over the past decades, genetic research has elucidated the complex interplay between ...
Antibiotics can destroy many types of bacteria, but increasingly, bacterial pathogens are gaining resistance to many commonly used types. As the threat of antibiotic resistance looms large, ...
A warming world may see more antibiotic-resistant bacteria, according to new research that shows a link between aridity and ...
A Caltech-led study published in Nature Microbiology found that drought conditions increase the abundance of ...
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 ...
