Researchers showed that the way in which genes are turned on and off as bacteria grow provide clues to their regulation. Bacterial infections cause millions of deaths each year, with the global threat ...

We know the genes, but not their functions—to resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research ...

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 ...

In 1933, geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for demonstrating that genes exist on chromosomes, which are passed down from parent to offspring. Ninety-one years ...

Antibiotic resistance continues to be a worldwide problem. Researchers are use AI computer modeling to help design new compounds. The Conversation — Antibiotic resistance is a growing public health ...

The cartoon illustrates how single-cell transcriptomics works: all mRNA molecules are recorded and characterized from countless bacterial cells, which are shown here in survival size on a conveyor ...

Vermicomposting earthworms help turn manure into organic fertilizer, representing a potential tool against antibiotic ...
