DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another—are key to bacterial evolution and the development of ...

Transposons, or "jumping genes" - DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another - are key to bacterial ...

Purpose: The goal of this work was to test the ability of oligonucleotide-based arrays to reproduce the results of focused bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)-based arrays used clinically in ...

Researchers have uncovered mechanisms by which mobile genetic elements integrate into the chromosomes of bacteria with linear genomes.

A newly developed laboratory tool can, within hours, help to identify specific viruses which can be used to destroy variants ...

Scientists at Cornell University have uncovered a new mechanism that bacterial transposons —often called “jumping genes” —use ...

Researchers show that transposons can target and insert themselves at the ends of linear chromosomes, called telomeres, within their bacterial host. In Streptomyces -- historically one of the most ...
