The last few years have provided us with a new level of understanding of how chromosomes are replicated, segregated and read - and how their 3D organisation influences expression of individual genes ...

From a genetic perspective, it is the worst-case scenario for a bacterium: during transcription, freshly created RNA adheres to its DNA template to form a three-stranded structure called an R-loop.

Researchers at Rockefeller University have discovered a new mechanism for maintaining genome stability in bacteria. This ...

Now, new research in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology describes how the enzyme RapA prevents R-loop formation in E. coli, with far-reaching implications for how all cells mai ...

Whether you own an Android phone or an iPhone, you might be surprised to spot an “E” icon appearing at the top of the status bar on your phone screen on occasion instead of 5G or LTE.

"We conducted a study on laboratory E. coli bacteria. We selected phages ... to most phages due to the intricacies of the cell wall structure. This surprised us, as the closest relatives of ...
