A new study, combining powerful genomic-scale microscopy with a technical innovation, captured which genes bacteria turn on in different situations and in different spatial environments.

A genetic analysis of Lyme disease bacteria may pave the way for improved diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the tick-borne ailment. By mapping the complete genetic makeup of 47 strains of ...

A bacterial gene is the minimal contiguous stretch of DNA in a bacterium that contains the expressed and regulatory sequences sufficient to complement the function of a null mutation in trans.

Antibiotic resistance is a global public health crisis responsible for more than a million deaths annually. By 2050, the World Health Organization estimates it could surpass cancer and heart disease ...

How would you make transcription and translation work when you no longer have a nucleus? Bacteria have an interesting answer. Attenuation, or dampening, of the trp operon is made possible by the ...

Before we understood that DNA was the genetic code, scientists knew that bacteria transferred it between cells. In 1928, 25 years before the structure of DNA was solved, British bacteriologist ...
