Researchers have uncovered mechanisms by which mobile genetic elements integrate into the chromosomes of bacteria with linear genomes.

Bacterial cells have been genetically modified ... In the future, researchers are hoping to use genetic engineering to be able to overcome some inherited disorders, such as cystic fibrosis and ...

Genetic engineering has revolutionized the field of medicine by enabling the production of recombinant proteins, such as insulin and human growth hormone, in bacteria or other host organisms. Gene ...

Given the growing antibiotic resistance crisis, novel ways to target bacterial infections are becoming increasingly important. One potential strategy is to manipulate bacterial genes at the ...

This suggests that synthetic biology approaches developed in one bacterial species can potentially be applied to a wide range of organisms, expanding the scope of genetic engineering," explains Prof.

Genetic engineering is the act of modifying the genetic makeup of an organism. Modifications can be generated by methods such as gene targeting, nuclear transplantation, transfection of synthetic ...

Bacterial cells have been genetically modified ... Resistance to diseases could be introduced into susceptible crops using genetic engineering. Not only can this protect the crop, it can also ...

Bacterial evolution is the process of heritable change in populations of bacteria over multiple generations. It occurs through mechanisms including natural selection and genetic drift, and can ...

Antibiotic resistance is a global concern that threatens our ability to prevent and treat bacterial infections in humans and animals.

The bacteria are prone to deficiencies in a specific DNA repair pathway, a condition known to spur rapid mutations in bacteria, which increase the odds of drug resistance developing.
