A newly discovered promoter element "start" points to a shared regulatory syntax for controlling transcription initiation in ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

Our cells harbor a DNA detector termed cGAS to inform the immune system of viral and bacterial infections, cell death, as well as transformation during cancer. Researchers led by Ikerbasque Research ...

Colibactin is a powerful toxin produced by Escherichia coli and other bacteria living in the human gut. This highly unstable ...

Transposons are critical drivers of bacterial evolution that have been studied for many decades and have been the subject of Nobel Prize winning research. Now, researchers from Cornell University have ...

Can AI create a life form? These “generative” genomes are a start Artificial intelligence can draw cat pictures and write emails. Now the same technology can compose a working genome. A research team ...

A new DNA sequencing technique that delivers faster and more accurate bacterial infection diagnoses could be implemented nationwide. The method, developed by the Medicines and Healthcare products ...
