If you are anything like us, whenever you plan a journey, you spend a remarkable amount of time thinking about the start and the middle. Is everything packed? What time should we leave? Will there be ...

Uncover the latest and most impactful research in DNA Replication Mechanisms in Bacterial Systems. Explore pioneering discoveries, insightful ideas and new methods from leading researchers in the ...

Cyanobacteria—ancient microbes that oxygenated Earth and made complex life possible—are still revealing surprises billions of years later. Scientists have now discovered that a molecular system once ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...

Structural biologists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison today published cryo-electron microscopy structures of the complete bacterial DNA replication restart complex — a molecular machine that ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The exponential growth of global data is outpacing conventional storage technologies, driving interest in alternative approaches. DNA offers an exceptionally high theoretical ...

When a virus enters a cell, its top priority is to replicate its genome rapidly, creating new viruses to infect elsewhere. The host has the opposite priority: to destroy the virus, ideally before it ...

Anthropic's Claude AI discovers a novel enzyme system in bacterial DNA, marking a breakthrough in AI-assisted genomic ...

A new review maps how bacterial anti-phage defenses, from restriction enzymes to Thoeris and CBASS immune signaling, shape ...
