Throughout life, transcription is catalysed by a highly conserved enzyme called RNA polymerase (RNAP). In bacteria, the core enzyme has 5 subunits: an α dimer, β, β‘ and ω 1. Whilst this core is ...
Genes aren't just transferred from parents to their offspring. Nature has found other ways to pass on genetic information, ...
The advent of Oxford Nanopore Technologies has undergone significant improvements in terms of sequencing costs, accuracy, and sequencing read lengths, making it a cost-effective, and readily ...
An analysis of the bones and teeth of ancient mammoths (Mammuthus) has identified some of the microorganisms that lived in the animals’ mouths and bodies more than one million years ago. The study, ...
Scientists at Stanford University have discovered that DRT3, a unique defense system found in bacteria, creates DNA to protect against viral infections. DRT3 is made up of two different enzymes called ...
In the never-ending battle between bacteria and viruses, both sides devise devious strategies to thwart the other. In a new study, scientists analyzed one such strategy used by the bacterium ...
