Like people, bacteria get invaded by viruses. In bacteria, the viral invaders are called bacteriophages, derived from the Greek word for bacteria-eaters, or in shortened form, "phages." Scientists ...
Scientists have uncovered thousands of bacterial DNA fragments hidden inside cockroaches for millions of years. The ...
A Leap Forward in MS Research For years, scientists have puzzled over what causes multiple sclerosis (MS), a neurological ...
Soil bacteria make cocktails of molecules that synergistically inhibit the growth of microbial pathogens — suggesting a ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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' ...
