In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive ...

finding this kind of lateral or horizontal gene transfer (HGT) wouldn’t have been so unbelievable. Almost 100 years earlier, researchers had first demonstrated that bacteria can pass one another ...

Conjugation is a form of horizontal gene transfer that allows the exchange of genetic material between two organisms or cells ...

Almost all bacterial genomes show evidence of past LGT events, and the phenomenon is known to have profound effects on microbial biology. This DNA-sharing process, known as horizontal or lateral gene ...

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 ...

Southern transfer and hybridization 1 is used to study how genes are organized within genomes by mapping restriction sites in and around segments of genomic DNA. This protocol describes the first ...

You and team's ADEPT system (Amplification of Dynamic gene Expression by Programmable gene Transfer) amplifies or suppresses specific cell populations in response to environmental cues.
