"If it ain't broke, don't fix it," goes the old adage, which Rice University professor James Chappell completely ignored in a ...

Scientists have identified essential genetic code for a method called plasmid curing, which aims to 'displace' antibiotic resistance genes from bacteria. Birmingham scientists have identified ...

The genetic culprits responsible for the spread of multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria have been identified by new research mapping 100 years of bacterial evolution. Subscribe to our newsletter for ...

University of Michigan researchers developed serum albumin-based nanoparticles that delivered plasmid DNA and mRNA into ...

The genetic culprits responsible for the spread of multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria have been identified by new research mapping 100 years of bacterial evolution. Experts at the Wellcome Sanger ...

In a demonstration that could help pave the way for gene therapies with fewer side effects, several human cell types have ...

Antibiotic resistance genes, the molecular instructions that allow bacteria to survive drug treatments, are not confined to ...

Inside wastewater biofilms, microbes do not live alone—they are linked by mobile genetic elements that shuttle traits, ...

Sizeable differences in gene expression means and ratios—based solely upon where genes are located on a plasmid (gene syntax)—have been discovered by researchers at Dartmouth College. This new ...

Antibiotic resistance is a growing threat that is already thought to contribute to the deaths of millions of people every year. One reason for this serious problem is that bacterial cells can easily ...
