A team of scientists, including researchers from the University of Queensland (UQ), has helped establish a more precise timeline for bacterial evolution—revealing that some bacteria used oxygen nearly ...

Lines of bacterial genome sequences are made to evolve independently by introducing high-activity insertion sequences, each simulating decades of evolution in the wild in just weeks. The genome ...

Researchers have now developed a new single-cell genome technique to understand how bacteria interact and exchange genetic material, including antibiotic resistance genes at the individual cell level.

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Scientists first aim to design genomes with minimal changes compared to the wild type to minimize the risk of failure. “The native ...
