In this GEN webinar, DNA synthesis experts Michael Junkin, PhD, and Brittany Enzmann, PhD, will provide an exclusive first look at Elegen’s GEN II Cell-Free DNA production platform that combines ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The exponential growth of global data is outpacing conventional storage technologies, driving interest in alternative approaches. DNA offers an exceptionally high theoretical ...

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 ...

Microbiologists have long known that ancient, inactive viruses known as cryptic prophages can insert their genetic material into bacterial DNA. These genetic fragments allow bacteria to use ...

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 ...

Gut bacteria rapidly adapt to processed food additives, revealing how modern diets can reshape microbial evolution worldwide.

When cells in the body die, they release DNA. This DNA, known as cell-free DNA (cfDNA), makes its way into the bloodstream where it gets chopped up by enzymes, and in minutes to hours, the liver pulls ...

PHILADELPHIA — Deep in the mangrove swamps of the Caribbean lives a giant bacterium with a surprise trick for organizing its DNA. Thiovulum imperiosus wraps its genetic material in membranous fingers, ...

The study reveals that environmental stressors do not merely kill bacteria; they can also prime surviving cells to take up resistance genes more ...
