New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

Medical schools must make microbiology a prerequisite — to prepare students not just for school but for practicing medicine.

It has genes for ribosomes, tRNAs, and mRNAs. These components are the scaffolding of life: the tools by which cells read ...

“If you impose a structure on it, which is this replication-driven cell cycle structure, then suddenly it goes from being incredibly noisy and very difficult to incredibly logical,” Pountain said. ...

In the vast and often unseen world of microscopic life, a recent discovery may force scientists to rethink what it means to ...

Sequencing the genome of single bacterial cells has long been technically difficult due to the seemingly incorrigible bias in the gene amplification stage of the process, making it hard to produce ...

The rate of bacterial replication and the amount of bacterial growth did not change between uninfected and CoV-2-infected cells. At both 12 hours and 24 hours post-infection, when the CoV-2 titer ...

The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Bacterial Cell Cycle Regulation in Caulobacter Crescentus. References [1] Nutritional control of bacterial DNA replication .

The replication of potentially harmful adenoviruses can be significantly reduced in human cells in cell culture by using the so-called CRISPR-Cas9 system ("gene scissors"). This method, which is ...
