Grand scale genome manipulation via chromosome swapping in Escherichia coli programmed by three one megabase chromosomes. Nucleic Acids Research , 2021; DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkab298 Cite This Page : ...

The just completed genome sequence of a deadly type of Escherichia coli bacteria suggests that the microbe frequently picks up new DNA from other bacteria and bacterial viruses, including genes ...

Herring, C. D. et al. Comparative genome sequencing of Escherichia coli allows observation of bacterial evolution on a laboratory timescale. Nature Genet. 38, 1406–1412 (2006) ...

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a common bacterium that lives in the intestines of animals and humans, and it is often used to ...

The issue of concern was that the Escherichia coli (E. coli) genome, consisting of 4.6 million base pairs of a single circular DNA, is too large to manipulate following the extraction and transfer ...

Recent technical advances in the synthesis and assembly of entire genomes have allowed Robertson et al. 1 to do exactly that. Previously, they engineered a version of the Escherichia coli genome ...

Isaacs and his colleagues systematically replaced one three-letter sequence in the genome of Escherichia coli with another. Three-letter genetic sequences are known as codons, ...

In fact, these Escherichia coli have the most extensively “recoded” genome ever created, ... but in only a fraction of the E. coli genome, so it doesn’t get to be Syn57.

But E. coli is a workhorse of laboratory research, and now it’s clear that its genome can be synthesized. It’s not hard to imagine that prices will fall as demands for custom, synthetic DNA rise.
