Homologous recombination in bacteria is a fundamental process for the repair of DNA double-strand breaks, the resolution of stalled or collapsed replication forks and the integration of foreign DNA ...
New research shows bacteria form distinct species and maintain cohesion through frequent DNA exchange via homologous recombination. When Kostas Konstantinidis proved that many microbes -- like plants ...
Red arrows indicate the DNA repair pathways that are known to aid bacterial survival as persisters and gamblers in the presence of fluoroquinolones. Blue color arrow indicates downregulation, while ...
Researchers have produced a genetic analysis of Lyme disease bacteria that may pave the way for improved diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the tick-borne ailment. A team led by CUNY Graduate ...
As genome editing therapies move through clinical trials to regulatory approval, scientists continue the quest for the holy ...

DNA had one rule. Bacteria didn’t get the memo
Every cell in every organism on Earth copies DNA the same way. Except one bacterial protein — quietly doing something scientists had never seen before. Your DNA has never been created from scratch.
When Kostas Konstantinidis proved that many microbes — like plants and animals — are organized into species, he upended a long-held scientific belief. Scientists widely believed that bacteria, due to ...
