Led by a team from Brunel University in the UK, the researchers behind the study ran controlled lab tests to see how saccharin, a common artificial sweetener, interacted with bacteria. We know the ...

Are genes distributed randomly along the bacterial chromosome, as if scattered from a salt shaker? This opinion, which is held by a majority of researchers, has now been disputed by a team of ...

A long search beyond the realm of microbes N4-methylcytosine (4mC) is a form of immunity in bacteria, camouflaging their genome from enzymes that degrade foreign sequences by adding a methyl ...

Engineered bacteria secrete powerful nanoparticles to aid in drug delivery, vaccines and treating medical conditions, such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease. (Nanowerk News) Researchers led by the ...

For example, the evolution of much smaller but fully functional centromeres (involved in controlling cell division) in bonobos may offer ideas for engineering streamlined artificial chromosomes to ...

They appear to play a major role in genetic variation among apes, including dramatic restructuring of large portions of the chromosomes. Segmental duplications are enriched in the short arms of ...

1). The karyotype analysis showed a balanced translocation between the long arm of X chromosome and the short arm of chromosome 16 described as 46,X,t(X;16)(q13.3;p11.2). At 11 mo, she developed ...

AI’s rapid development raises concerns over its ethical implications and environmental footprint. Artificial intelligence is transforming our lives, reshaping sectors such as education, healthcare, ...

Scientists have been trying to create multicellular life from a fully human-made genome since 2006 International teams have painstakingly built 16 synthetic yeast chromosomes from scratch Sydney ...
