How do bacteria, lacking a nucleus, organize and pack their genome into the cell? Supercoiling enables this but forces a different kind of transcription and translation in prokaryotes. Aa Aa Aa ...

For the above experiment with bacterial colonies, these data tell a story of gene expression across the entire E. coli genome under two different environmental temperatures (Figure 6).

E. coli bacteria could be used to create biodegradable plastics, reports a paper published in Nature Chemical Biology. The ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed a vector that integrates the Cre enzyme gene with the specific DNA ...

Dozens of people have been admitted to hospital following an outbreak of E. coli. Reports have been made of 113 people being affected by the bacteria across the country since May 25. Whole genome ...

Genome construction involves three basic steps: oligonucleotide synthesis, genome assembly, and delivery of the synthetic genome into cells. Refactoring or streamlining is an acceptable strategy for ...

LBP-EC01 is a bacteriophage ‘cocktail’ that has been modified using CRISPR/Cas3 gene-editing to improve its ability to target the E coli genome. Lab studies have demonstrated it is ...

Hong Kong authorities have been using advanced genome sequencing to determine whether ... after a suspected outbreak of a highly toxic E coli strain at a hospital where two other doctors have ...

Earlier this month, the agency confirmed at least 37 people had been admitted to hospital following the E. coli outbreak, which it believed to be linked to food. Whole genome sequencing of samples ...
