These motility organs play important roles in DNA uptake to exchange genetic information between different bacteria, allowing what's so-called genomic plasticity. Therefore, bacterial motility organs ...

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene ...

Researchers at Vilnius University (Lithuania) have uncovered how the bacterial protein Cas9, better known as the CRISPR-Cas ...

Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes.

A research team led by scientists from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) has introduced a new way to fine-tune genetic material. Their study, published in Nature ...

Transposons are critical drivers of bacterial evolution that have been studied for many decades and have been the subject of Nobel Prize winning research. Now, researchers from Cornell University have ...

AI systems have recently had a lot of success in one key aspect of biology: the relationship between a protein’s structure and its function. These efforts have included the ability to predict the ...
