Scripps Research team offers insights that could aid development of phage therapies against Mycobacteria The pathogens which ...

Mycobacteria are the world's most deadly bacteria --c ausing infectious diseases including tuberculosis (TB), which alone kills more than one million people each year. New drugs to fight these ...

Scientists at the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology and VIVES University College have developed a new method to ...

Most cells in the human body each contain about six feet of DNA. Yet the nucleus, where DNA is coiled, is no larger than a ...

The research, published in IEEE Access and led by Dr. Nasreen Anjum of the University of Portsmouth's School of Computing, is ...

The scientists state that epigenetic clocks based on the entropy of methylation states predict chronological age with ...

An INRS research team has identified a new family of enzymes that can make precise cuts in single-stranded DNA. A few years ...

Next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS)—the same technology which is powering the development of tailor-made medicines, cancer ...

Mutations fuel evolution while also causing diseases like cancer. Epigenome-targeted DNA repair can help organisms protect important genomic regions from mutation. However, the adaptive value, ...

A single phage can produce tens of thousands of offspring in an hour, growing exponentially from there. Other phages reproduce by becoming a part of the bacterium’s genome. When the bacterium ...

A small GMP facility should be set up along the lines of the UK’s Catapult network of technology and innovation hubs that could be used by phage developers who cannot afford to make the level of ...
