In a discovery three decades in the making, scientists at Rutgers and Brookhaven National Laboratory have acquired detailed ...

Scientists have documented the way a single gene in the bacterium that causes bubonic plague, Yersinia pestis, allowed it to ...

A protein called PriC allows DNA replication to proceed in Escherichia coli when the complex that usually initiates this process is compromised.

prophage may spontaneously extract themselves from the host genome and enter the lytic cycle in a process called induction. This process, however, is not perfect and prophage may sometimes leave ...

Phage infection occurs via two alternate cycles, initiated by the injection of phage DNA or RNA into the host. In the lytic cycle, this is translated to produce phage proteins that hijack the host ...

Herpesviruses have large double-stranded DNA genomes that encode 60 to 120 genes. They have two different lytic cycles: latent infection, in which the viral genome is stably maintained in the nucleus ...
