As antibiotic-resistant bacteria threaten global health, Hebrew University scientists use innovative method to discover PreS, ...

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 ...

Discover how a tiny RNA molecule serves as a molecular switch in viral infections, providing insights into phage biology.

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.

Bacteria use a short RNA guide to detect viruses and activate a self-destruct mechanism that protects the wider microbial ...

The extraction of high‐quality RNA from plant tissues is a critical prerequisite for gene expression studies and other molecular analyses. Over the past decades, researchers have refined methods to ...

Blood RNA extraction is fundamental to modern biomedical research and clinical diagnostics, providing the basis for comprehensive gene expression profiling. This process involves isolating ...

In a study published in PNAS, Dr. CHAO Yanjie at the Shanghai Institute of Immunity and Infection of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Dr. WANG Chuan from Fudan University revealed how a bacterial ...

Apart from carrying the information to encode proteins in, RNA molecules can adopt intricate 2D and 3D structures. Specifically, the same RNA molecule can switch between ON and OFF structures, ...
