Hong Kong authorities are using advanced genome sequencing to see whether separate infections or underlying factors ...

Scientists have uncovered how certain E. coli bacteria in the gut promote colon cancer by binding to intestinal cells and ...

This historical perspective integrates 50 years of research on SOS mutagenesis in Escherichia coli with the proverbial '3R' functions—replication, repair and recombination—that feature DNA ...

Sanofi and Johnson & Johnson ended development of an experimental vaccine after it failed to adequately protect against an ...

leading to DNA breaks, mutations, and cell death. Now, new research in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology describes how the enzyme RapA prevents R-loop formation in E. coli, with far-reaching ...

State health officials have identified three additional cases of E. coli O157:H7 illness in Minnesotans linked to consumption of raw milk or other dairy products from a dairy farm in Gibbon, ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism - a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with one stop codon - using a cellular platform that they developed ...

It may be time for commercial cattle producers to take a page from seed stock producers and incorporate genetic testing at ...

This important study presents compelling observational data supporting a role for transcription and polysome accumulation in the separation of newly replicated bacterial chromosomes. The study is ...

Budding yeast have no apparent homologue of mammalian DNA ligase III. Bacterial DNA viruses, such as the E. coli bacteriophages T4, T6, T7, and T3, encode their own ATP-dependent DNA ligases.

Researchers have detailed the first E. coli O103 outbreak in England traced to raw milk cheese. In June 2022, routine microbiological surveillance at the ...

Researchers around the world are working on new technologies to capture carbon from the atmosphere, but many approaches fall short on one key metric: their ability to scale. Nature, however, has ...
