Research has shed important new light on the enemies-turned-allies that allow bacteria to exchange genes, including those ...
In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

When bacteria swap DNA, the consequences can ripple across ecosystems and hospitals alike, fueling the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Now, researchers at Imperial College London have ...
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the transfer of genetic material between distinct species, a process that plays a major role in the evolution of a genome. There is an increasing body of evidence for ...
Researchers discovered the secret checkpoints that keep CRISPR precise, revealing how the tool shifts from inactive to active without misfiring. The insight could transform gene therapy, making ...
A novel CRISPR defense mechanism, unlike known nucleases, specifically destroys transfer ribonucleic acids (tRNA) that are vital for protein production to shut down infected cells. (Nanowerk News) ...
