The problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has many health experts worried. As disease-causing bacteria adapt to some of ...

Bacterial gene regulation is a finely tuned process essential for cellular adaptation and survival. Central to this regulation are nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs), which not only compact the ...

Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have uncovered how a ...

How do bacteria—harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease—organize their activities? A new study, combining powerful genomic-scale microscopy with a technical innovation, ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

Given the growing antibiotic resistance crisis, novel ways to target bacterial infections are becoming increasingly important. One potential strategy is to manipulate bacterial genes at the ...

The cartoon illustrates how single-cell transcriptomics works: all mRNA molecules are recorded and characterized from countless bacterial cells, which are shown here in survival size on a conveyor ...

Scientists have revealed how Fanzor2's divergence from bacterial ancestors may make it a useful tool for future genomic engineering endeavors. A revolution in biomedicine is currently underway, driven ...
