Genomic surveillance allows the team to describe drug-resistant bacteria in terms of their strains, which genes enable the resistance, and how those genes are transferred between bacteria.

Bacterial DNA methylation occurs at diverse sequence contexts and plays important functional roles in cellular defense and gene regulation. An increasing number of studies have reported that ...

Researchers discover multiple types of DNA methylation from bacteria and microbiome using nanopore technology, opening new opportunities to discover novel drug targets.

5 latest biotechnology breakthroughs, from genome sequencing to microbiome manipulation, revolutionizing medicine, ...

The agency routinely collects and sequences bacteria on food and humans, and it just needed to search those sequences for the DNA segment that confers bacterial resistance to colistin.

Scientists today typically sequence new bacterial genomes by cutting large pieces of DNA into small, quick-to-scan fragments and then using a reference sequence such as H37Rv to align all the ...

Third-generation sequencing technologies enable real-time, single-molecule analysis of long DNA fragments, revolutionizing genome assembly, structural variation detection, and epigenetic profiling.
