The DNA of nearly all life on Earth contains many redundancies, and scientists have long wondered whether these redundancies served a purpose or if they were just leftovers from evolutionary processes ...
We have gone further than ever before in creating life that is unlike anything that has evolved naturally. The genome of an Escherichia coli bacterium has been redesigned on a computer to use just 57 ...
Storing genetic material as DNA or RNA is all well and good for life on Earth, but it would be entirely pointless if we ...
A new study has shown that the physical movements of the gut influence how enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) colonizes and activates its virulence genes in living hosts. Using zebrafish models, ...
Researchers led by Gladstone Institutes have successfully adapted a retron-based genome editing system, previously limited to E. coli, to work in 14 additional bacterial species. This breakthrough ...
