A wealth of molecular biology has been exploited in designing and interpreting experimental evolution studies with bacteriophage T7. The modest size of its genome (40 kb dsDNA) and the ease of making ...

Researchers in the Raman Lab at UW recently published a study discussing sending microbes into space at the International Space Station to evaluate how mutations induced by microgravity may impact ...

In a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers demonstrated biological bacteriophage containment and synthetic engineering. Study: Synthetic ...

Researchers from New England Biolabs and Yale University have created a system for engineering the first fully synthetic bacteriophages that could help with future clinical development of phage ...

If there was any doubt that viruses are basically microscopic machines, let this recreation of a T7 bacteriophage infecting an ecoli cell put those reservations to rest. In this animated video, the ...

Antibiotic resistance is a rapidly progressing phenomenon, causing huge headaches for public health planners. However, a new study demonstrates a novel strategy to kill bacteria using natural bacteria ...
