Every year, bacteria kill more than a million people worldwide through infections that no longer respond to antibiotics. In ...
If you are anything like us, whenever you plan a journey, you spend a remarkable amount of time thinking about the start and ...
Some bacteria, it turns out, have proteins much like ours that organize the DNA in their cells. They just do it a bit differently. This is revealed by new research from biochemists at the Leiden ...
A 'loopy' discovery in bacteria is raising fundamental questions about the makeup of our own genome -- and revealing a potential wellspring of material for new genetic therapies. A "loopy" discovery ...
Researchers from Durham University, Jagiellonian University (Poland) and the John Innes Centre have achieved a breakthrough in understanding DNA gyrase, a vital bacterial enzyme and key antibiotic ...
Scientists have uncovered thousands of bacterial DNA fragments hidden inside cockroaches for millions of years. The ...
A new intranasal DNA vaccine may give the immune system an extra weapon against tuberculosis by targeting bacteria that can ...

What is 'SpudCell'? Arguably the greatest bioengineering feat yet
A prototype cell partly capable of replicating itself has been created using 36 existing bacterial genes, but it's not really ...
Bacteria are constantly moving by help of motility organs called flagella or pili to colonize new niches. Also, bacteria can exchange information, like “speaking to each other”, and thus acquire new ...
Colibactin is a powerful toxin produced by Escherichia coli and other bacteria living in the human gut. This highly unstable bacterial product causes mutations in DNA that have been linked to ...
Most animals straightforwardly inherit their genetic material. DNA passes from parent to offspring, generation after generation, creating the biological continuity that links families, populations and ...
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and UCL have analyzed ancient DNA from Borrelia recurrentis, a type of bacteria that causes relapsing fever, pinpointing when it evolved to spread through ...
