The three-year award totals $533,000, including $375,000 in direct research costs. Dr. Benjamin Koestler is the recent ...

Researchers have developed an AI tool that can help determine whether unfamiliar bacteria carry genetic features linked to ...

In their landmark 1961 paper on the lac operon, Nobel laureates François Jacob and Jacques Monod speculated that RNA might control gene activity in bacteria through base-pairing interactions. But once ...

Antibiotic resistance is a significant and growing medical problem worldwide. Researchers at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) and collaborators have found a novel genetic arrangement that may ...

Antibiotics can destroy many types of bacteria, but increasingly, bacterial pathogens are gaining resistance to many commonly used types. As the threat of antibiotic resistance looms large, ...

New research studies have demonstrated that bacteria are able to retain 'memories' of temporary, short changes to their cells and environments. These memories are not related to changes in the genetic ...

As it turns out, the most powerful tool for tinkering with nature’s blueprints came from nature itself. Developed in the early 2010s, CRISPR is a technique for editing DNA with painstaking precision.

The domestication of livestock and plants marked an important stage in the settlement of human populations in the Neolithic period, as they moved from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to a subsistence ...
