For the science-minded, they’re genetically modified soil bacteria that work with plants to absorb and metabolize toxic chemicals commonly found indoors. “We’ve developed a natural air ...

The mar system is well-studied in the gut bacteria Escherichia coli ... By doing so, they found that this seemingly trivial genetic modification significantly altered the mar system's expression ...

MIT’s moisture-sensitive sportswear might one day be genetically modified to glow in the dark ... Skin” fabric are made up of living bacteria that react to moisture. As a person sweats ...

DNA is often seen as the blueprint of life—carrying the code to govern the development and traits of an organism—but “there ...

injects its genetic material and begins the infection process. The results were surprising. "Other phages form a channel through the bacterial membrane to inject their DNA, so we expected to see ...

Could it be that one of only three known markers directly targeting the DNA does not exist outside the realm of microbes? Now, researchers have demonstrated that this marker -- N4-methylcytosine (4mC) ...
