Since the genetic code was first deciphered in the 1960s, our genes have seemed like an open book. By reading and decoding ...

A new book, The Lure of Bacterial Genetics, honors the achievements of John Roth, distinguished professor of microbiology in the College of Biological Sciences. The book, mostly the work of former ...

ASM Press announces the fourth edition of Molecular Genetics of Bacteria, a textbook that centers on the most-studied bacteria, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, in addition to examples from ...

In his intellectually sparkling and beautifully crafted “The Genetic Book of the Dead: A Darwinian Reverie,” Richard Dawkins argues that, unlike the unfinished works of human literature—specific, ...

A University of Leicester academic was involved in a study into single bacteria causes of systematic disease.

Is evolution possible without reproduction? Bacteria living hundreds of metres below the seafloor carry more genetic changes than their peers nearer the surface – even though the deep microbes ...

The integrase is thought to provide bacteria with the ability to “shuffle” the order of their genes, letting bacteria modulate their resistance levels on demand.

Bacteria make enzymes that lock onto certain, short sequences of DNA and slice them apart. When a virus injects its genes, these so-called restriction enzymes shred them into genetic confetti, so ...
