Researchers have analyzed ancient DNA from Borrelia recurrentis, a type of bacteria that causes relapsing fever, pinpointing when it evolved to spread through lice rather than ticks, and how it gained ...

The genome structure — how genes are organized within DNA sequences in an organism — is fundamental to the processes and functions of organisms.

Point mutations are often thought of as the raw material of evolution; these small changes ... us insights into the evolutionary pressures on bacterial pathogens.

His 1987 review, "Bacterial evolution," published in Microbiological Reviews (51:221-71, 1987), comprehensively summarizes work done over the previous 10 years on the new phylogenetic categorization ...

Evolution is the greatest weapon that infectious bacteria wield, but Tami Lieberman and Jean-Baptiste Michel have found a way of turning it against them. They duo have shown that the same ...
