An unexpected find has enabled important progress to be made in the battle against harmful bacteria. An international team of researchers, led by Professor Peter Fineran from the University of Otago, ...
Bacteria-attacking viruses, known as bacteriophages, use small RNAs to disarm the CRISPR-Cas immune systems of bacteria. This discovery has now been documented by researchers at the University of ...
Bacteria use antiphage systems to combat phages, their ubiquitous competitors, and evolve new defenses through repeated reshuffling of basic functional units into novel reformulations. A common theme ...
A microscopic discovery will not only enable scientists to understand the microbial world around us but could also provide a new way to control CRISPR-Cas biotechnologies. A microscopic discovery will ...
Overuse of antibiotics has accelerated the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacterial species. The World Health Organization named antibacterial resistance as a top public health threat to ...
Because CRISPR news tends to focus on the applications of genome editing—such as treating genetic diseases or improving food—it may be easy to forget that the system is, at its core, used by bacteria ...
A microscopic discovery will not only enable scientists to understand the microbial world around us but could also provide a new way to control CRISPR-Cas biotechnologies. An international team of ...
Artist’s representation of bacteriophages, the most abundant biological entities on earth. Researchers used a new CRISPR-based technology to characterize two model phages and demonstrate the potential ...
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 ...
