New research is shaking up how we think about evolution, suggesting there's a level of predictability influenced by genes and ...

"We can explore how bacteria might communicate and compete for spatial niches and define the structure of microbial communities. And we can ask how pathogenic bacteria adjust their gene expression ...

Bacteria are commonly found in or on the body without causing harm, known as colonization. One of these is S. aureus, a common type of bacteria that can be found in the nose of up to 30 percent of ...

New tool reveals gene behavior in bacteria Date: January 25, 2024 Source: NYU Langone Health / NYU Grossman School of Medicine Summary: Researchers showed that the way in which genes are turned on ...

Many insects live in symbiosis with certain species of bacteria. These bacteria make important contributions to their hosts' ...

Using artificial intelligence, UT Southwestern researchers have discovered a new family of sensing genes in enteric bacteria that are linked by structure and probably function, but not genetic ...

This gene enables bacteria to survive in extreme, oxygen-depleted environments, lying dormant until food — such as methane from an oil spill, and the oxygen needed to metabolize it — become ...

Zhang had been looking for new ways to deliver gene-editing enzymes to cells when, two years ago, he and his graduate student Joseph Kreitz read two papers on Photorhabdus ’s injection system.
