the pLS20 conjugative plasmid, prevalent among Gram-positive Bacillus spp., uniquely requires fluid environments to enhance its transfer. Here, we show that pLS20, carried by Bacillus subtilis, ...

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical that encodes instructions for building and replicating almost all ...

Over the past 30 years, DNA delivery, especially via the nonviral route (i.e., transfection), has become a powerful and popular research tool for elucidating gene structure, regulation ...

FipA is a novel component required for bacteria that rely on FlhF/FlhG to properly localize their flagella to the cell pole.

The large-scale production of recombinant proteins in plants is limited by relatively low yields and difficulties in extraction and purification. These problems were addressed by engineering ...

Next-generation sequencing allows for critical insights into gene therapy products, which can help streamline and accelerate ...

DNA Evidence Rewrites Story of People Buried in Pompeii Eruption Nov. 7, 2024 — Researchers have used ancient DNA to challenge long-held interpretations of the people of Pompeii. Contrary to ...

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the information-carrying molecule found in all living organisms. In most animal, plant and fungal cells DNA is stored in the nucleus coiled up in thread-like ...

How Dog DNA Kits Work All the kits we tried have the same basics. After you register the kit, take a swab or two of the inside of the cheek pouch of your doggie. Do this a couple of hours after ...

Department of Microbiolog, Immunology, and Biochemistry. University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, USA ...

More than seven decades later, mathematician Robert Monjo believes he has discovered a similarly significant double helix — but this time not as the structure of human DNA, but as the structure ...
