New research suggests that a class of antibiotics commonly used in poultry and other food-producing animals, but not in ...

Imported seafood may be spreading colistin-resistant “superbugs” into U.S. kitchens as a new study warns of rising antibiotic ...

DNA and RNA have been measured with many techniques but often with relatively long analysis times. In this study, we utilize fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) for the subsecond codetection of ...

Working as a team, Xavier Sass, a freshman at Eastern Tech High facing camera and Zaria Sass, a junior practice operating pipettes together as youth perform a plasmid DNA isolation to isolate DNA from ...

Colistin resistance genes in imported seafood spark global concern over rising antibiotic-resistant infections, urging ...

An obscure group of phages offers insights into elements of microbial warfare—and blueprints for new antibiotics.

In this interview, we explore the limitations of pDNA, the advantages of mcDNA and how NunaBio’s technology could unlock new ...

A protein from Helicobacter pylori inhibits amyloid formation in both microbes and humans, offering new leads for ...

The editing of plasmids and construction of plasmid libraries is paramount to the engineering of desired functionalities in synthetic biology. Typically, plasmids with targeted mutations are produced ...

Reducing the copies of one gene in the bubonic plague bacterium, Yersinia pestis, made it less deadly but potentially more transmissible ...
