Bacterial gene regulation is a finely tuned process essential for cellular adaptation and survival. Central to this regulation are nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs), which not only compact the ...

Plants make substances called alkaloids to protect themselves, and humans have long taken advantage of these chemicals, using ...

Antibiotic resistance continues to be a worldwide problem. Researchers are use AI computer modeling to help design new compounds. The Conversation — Antibiotic resistance is a growing public health ...

E. coli divides faster than it can replicate its genome, while simultaneously expressing its genes. Scientists recently revealed the intricate molecular coordination that makes this possible. “It’s as ...

Given the growing antibiotic resistance crisis, novel ways to target bacterial infections are becoming increasingly important. One potential strategy is to manipulate bacterial genes at the ...

In 1933, geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for demonstrating that genes exist on chromosomes, which are passed down from parent to offspring. Ninety-one years ...

A novel iLDS statistic uncovers adaptive gene sweeps in gut bacteria, highlighting evolutionary responses to modern diets and enhancing microbiome studies.
