A visualization of potential bacterial associates (green) in fungal hyphae using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), performed in collaboration with the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies.

It has only recently been shown that bacteria have chromosomes and genes. Now it has been found that one bacterium can inject its genes into another by conjugation, giving rise to a hybrid ...

Microarray-based methods for the study of pathogenic bacteria. (a) Comparative genomic hybridization compares the chromosomal DNA content of two related strains. Genomic DNA is isolated from two ...

What are ways species exchange genes with each other? Hybridization and gene flow are shortcuts to biodiversity that don’t always involve differentiation. By continuing to study hybridizing ...

West Virginia University researchers are working to potentially reduce the growing rate of antibiotic-resistant infections in ...

Using a naturally occurring process, laboratories can harness the existing molecule-building capacities of bacteria to ...

A research team investigated whole chloroplast genomes and nuclear gene sequences from 14 species, uncovering new insights into the genetic diversity and hybrid origins of mango species.

Aptamers are not only highly suitable receptors for the selective and high-proficiency detection of a wide range of molecular targets, including bacteria, they have also shown to self-assemble on ...
