But the research topic is, for obvious reasons, controversial. Scientists have largely steered clear of trying to create full ...

Antibiotics are one of the greatest triumphs in the history of medical science—but these lifesaving tools have a dark side.

Abstract Acetate is a cost-effective and sustainable carbon source that, despite its potential, remains underutilized. This study employed ...

University of the Philippines researchers have developed AI models to predict E. coli's antimicrobial resistance using ...

We describe a targeted, continual multigene editing strategy that was applied to the Escherichia coli genome by using the Streptococcus pyogenes type II CRISPR-Cas9 system to realize a variety of ...

In this study, we developed a fusion expression system by combining DnaG (RNA primase) with adenine deaminase TadA-8e (DnaG-TadA) in Escherichia coli, which is capable of rapidly introducing A → G ...

Dozens of Americans are still recovering from a dangerous bacteria found festering in one of McDonald’s most iconic burgers. An E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald’s’ Quarter Pounder has led ...

While it might be expected that genome concentration eventually becomes a limiting factor, what is surprising and novel here is that this happens very rapidly, with growth transitioning even for cells ...

To assess the genetic diversity of E. coli strains used in this study, we built a phylogenetic tree using the core genome alignment of our strain collection (n = 474) together with 31 strains ...

Not revised: This Reviewed Preprint includes the authors’ original preprint (without revision), an eLife assessment, and public reviews. This paper uses a high-throughput assay of transcription levels ...
