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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have discovered the artificial sweetener can kill multidrug-resistant bacteria — offering a surprising new tool in the global fight against antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic ...

New research shows that common gut bacteria can chemically alter widely used medications, possibly reducing their effects. The findings shed light on the gut microbiome’s hidden role in drug ...

Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Biofunctional Materials, Jiangsu Collaborative Innovation Center of Biomedical Functional Materials, Jiangsu Key Laboratory of New Power Batteries, College of Chemistry and ...

In Streptomyces – historically one of the most significant bacteria for antibiotic development – they found that transposons controlled the telomeres in nearly a third of the chromosomes.

Within each HAC, the researchers designed sequences to bind centromeric proteins, which ensured that daughter cells would inherit the chromosome when the original cell divided. Specifically, they ...

By creating a computational framework to model systems of replicating bacterial chromosomes as polymers at 10 bp resolution with Brownian dynamics, we investigate changes in chromosome organization ...

Purpose: To illustrate the use of bacterial artificial chromosome ... to the proximal long arm of chromosome 2 (Research Genetics, CITB library); and BACs 7B8 (403D01) mapping to 7p15.3→p21.1 ...

Bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) systems offer numerous benefits. These roomy vectors can contain an entire gene and all of its associated regulatory elements, allowing scientists to easily ...
