coli populations demonstrated that reducing entropy promoted the effective plasmid transfer rate. Analysis of prokaryotic genome data suggested that plasmids and antibiotic resistance genes were ...

CRISPR-Cas systems are prokaryotic immune systems that confer resistance to foreign genetic elements such as plasmids and phages. CRISPR-Cas systems have been exploited for targeted genome editing.

The NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline is designed to annotate bacterial and archaeal genomes (chromosomes and plasmids). Genome annotation is a multi-level process that includes prediction ...

Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced the Applied Biosystems MagMAX Pro HT NoSpin Plasmid MiniPrep Kit to address the ...

The authors confirm that telomeres in telomerase-positive cells terminate with 5'-ATC in a Pot1-dependent manner, and demonstrate that this principle holds true in telomerase-negative ALT cells as ...

This manuscript characterizes a mutated clone of RNA polymerase I in yeast, referred to as SuperPol, to understand the mechanisms of RNA polymerase I elongation and termination. The authors present ...

18 “You have to find an antibiotic or selection marker that works. You have to find plasmids. It’s much easier in bacteria nowadays, just because there’s more material available,” Albers said.

Birmingham scientists have identified an essential genetic code for a method called plasmid curing, which aims to "displace" antibiotic-resistance genes from bacteria.

These plasmids, in turn, promote the mobility of acquired integrons into diverse bacterial species. The acquisitions of resistant genes are transferred to humans through horizontal gene transfer.
