For centuries the classification of living organisms into distinct groups and species was done by morphology. While this was sufficient for Darwin and early biologists to study evolution and ...
Two key sequencing techniques are no longer at odds, thanks to an international effort led by scientists at University of California (UC) San Diego. The researchers have developed a reference database ...
Microbial biofilms form on all aquatic surfaces and can harbor pathogenic bacteria. In the aquaculture industry, Flavobacteria species can cause serious diseases and lead to high mortality. These ...
In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...
This method for directly enriching the 5´ end of primary transcripts enables the determination of transcription start sites at single-base resolution. Coupled with long read sequencing, the method ...
Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...
But now researchers studying bacterial RNA have a new option. Austin, Texas-based Ambion Inc.'s MICROBExpress™ Bacterial mRNA Purification Kit, offers researchers a method for isolating mRNA from many ...
