Chromosome segregation and site-specific recombination are central processes in bacterial cell division and genome maintenance. The orchestration of these events ensures that circular chromosomes are ...
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 ...
Evolution of bacterial pathogen populations has been detected in a variety of ways including phenotypic tests, such as metabolic activity, reaction to antisera and drug resistance and genotypic tests ...
A genetic analysis of Lyme disease bacteria may pave the way for improved diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the tick-borne ailment. By mapping the complete genetic makeup of 47 strains of Lyme ...
We stand at a pivotal moment in biological science where the acquisition of a complete genome sequence, something that a decade ago took millions of dollars and several years to achieve, is becoming ...
When Kostas Konstantinidis proved that many bacteria—like plants and animals—are organized into species, he upended a ...
