Bacterial genomes are singular, circular chromosomes. Because bacterial genes only contain one copy of each chromosome, they reproduce by making an exact copy, or clone, of themselves.
Dynamic changes in chromatin drive gene expression programs during cellular development and contribute to pathological changes underlying disease. To date, efforts to characterize chromatin...
Acute coughing is one of the most common reasons for consulting in primary care thus driving considerable antibiotic use and health-care costs. Currently, identification of microbial etiolog...
Employing a metagenomic search, we identified a family of miniature CRISPR-Cas type V-L systems capable of RNA-guided dsDNA target cleavage without a tracrRNA. A bacterial depletion screen r...
Molecular biology workflows within drug discovery and development pipelines rely on the efficient extraction and cleanup of nucleic acids. Maximizing recovery, consistency and speed is achie...
