Using Computers, Scientists Successfully Predict Evolution Of E. Coli Bacteria Date: November 15, 2002 Source: National Science Foundation Summary: For more than a decade, researchers have been ...

Scientists have documented a notable case of antibiotic resistance evolving within a critically ill patient during treatment ...

Evolutionary biologist Richard Lenski occasionally thinks of his 12 original flasks of E. coli as the experiment that keeps on giving. He and his colleagues have nurtured these samples and their ...

Palsson first created a computer model of E-coli in 2000, and since then has shown that the model accurately mimics the behavior of the bacteria 80% of the time.

Creationists are about to have even more scientific data to ignore. Researchers from Michigan State University have used "in-depth, genomics-based analysis" to understand how E. coli bacteria ...

A new study, published in Nature Communications, suggests genetic material from E. coli bacteria in farm animals could be contributing to the evolution of deadly strains of E. coli in humans.

Thirty years ago, Hall was growing E. coli in his lab, trying to pick out those bacteria that had a mutation significant enough to help them out-compete their cousins.

It may even be able to predict the future. E. coli has 4000-odd genes, which it can use in various combinations to meet the many challenges it faces.
