Bacterial gene regulation is a finely tuned process essential for cellular adaptation and survival. Central to this regulation are nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs), which not only compact the ...
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 119, No. 40 (October 4, 2022), pp. 1-9 (9 pages) Horizontal gene transfer drives bacterial evolution. To confer ...
To grow and multiply efficiently, bacteria must coordinate cell division with chromosome segregation. Key to this process is a protein called Nucleoid Occlusion Factor or Noc. A small and abundant ...
We are all collections of cells, each cell containing the instructions—our DNA—to become any other cell. What differentiates a heart cell from a skin cell from a brain cell is the expression—or ...
