This manuscript describes an important finding of the transcriptional control of a chimeric gene transfer agents (GTA) cluster in Bartonella by a processive anti-termination factor (BrrG). The ...

Researchers made a “huge breakthrough” when they did an experiment “purely out of curiosity” which solves “a decades-long ...

John Innes Centre researchers and partners used a model plasmid called RK2 that is used globally to study clinically relevant ...

The global gene therapy market size was valued at USD 6.30 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach from USD 7.47 billion in 2025 to USD 29.24 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 18.60% during the ...

The transcription factor regulatory network in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is complex and involves multiple regulators that respond to various environmental signals and physiological cues by regulating ...

The student researchers found that one of four vials of experimental vaccines contained residual plasmid DNA, a small circular DNA molecule found in bacteria that gets used during vaccine ...

As part of this DNA exchange, plasmids often provide recipient bacteria with genetic advantages. For example, many antibiotic-resistance genes are spread through plasmid transfer between bacteria, ...
