New research reveals alarming findings about hospital bacteria transmission linked to hidden surfaces and workers' hands.

Could it be that one of only three known markers directly targeting the DNA does not exist outside the realm of microbes? Now, researchers have demonstrated that this marker -- N4-methylcytosine (4mC) ...

Mobile DNA elements, such as Insertion Sequence (IS) elements, transposons, integrative elements (e.g. integrative islands), prophages, are key players of bacterial adaptation and evolution. They are ...
