Researchers showed that the way in which genes are turned on and off as bacteria grow provide clues to their regulation. Bacterial infections cause millions of deaths each year, with the global threat ...
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 ...
Researchers have made a significant advance toward the goal of using bacteria—rather than fossil fuels—to produce ethylene, a ...
Using artificial intelligence, researchers have discovered a new family of sensing genes in enteric bacteria that are linked by structure and probably function, but not genetic sequence. The findings ...
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 ...
Some genetic disorders—such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia and Tay Sachs disease—involve many mutations in a person's genome, ...
In the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, mRNA-based vaccines have impressively demonstrated their potential. Using this technology, scientists were able to rapidly develop and bring to market ...
Tiny, sap-eating whiteflies wreak agricultural havoc by spreading multiple plant viruses and secreting sticky, mold-attracting goo on the 500-odd plant species they eat. Now a study in Science ...
