Bacterial chromosome dynamics and gene regulation are intimately linked through a finely orchestrated interplay between the physical organization of the chromosome and the molecular processes that ...

In a recent study published in the Microorganisms journal, researchers in China reviewed the uses of bacterial-artificial-chromosome (BAC)-based genome editing techniques in herpesvirus research.

Bacterial chromosome segregation is a fundamental process ensuring accurate distribution of genetic material during cell division. Central to this process is the ParABS system, comprising the ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Transposons, or “jumping genes” – DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another – are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance.

Bioinformaticians have established that the genes in bacterial genomes are arranged in a meaningful order. They describe that the genes are arranged by function: If they become increasingly important ...

Bioinformaticians from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and the university in Linköping (Sweden) have established that the genes in bacterial genomes are arranged in a meaningful order. In ...

Transposons are critical drivers of bacterial evolution that have been studied for many decades and have been the subject of Nobel Prize winning research. Now, researchers from Cornell University have ...

Transmission of DNA requires that the sister chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles of the cell before division. Eukaryotic cells have a specific spindle apparatus which anchors the chromosomes ...
