AI designed new bacteriophages that killed E. coli in lab tests, promising advances but raising safety concerns.

AI-guided design of 16 functional bacteriophage genomes offers a path for phage-based therapies against antibiotic-resistant infections.

Lucy Shapiro received this year’s Lasker Special Achievement Award for her discovery of how bacteria use genetic circuits to ...

Scientists have successfully revived the genome of the Spanish Flu that struck the world in 1918. This was thought impossible since the lung it was decoded from had been preserved in a substance that ...

More than a decade ago, scientists harnessed a bacterial molecular machine that identifies and cuts specific sections of DNA, ...

Researchers have described a large set of previously unrecognized enzymatic domains – named the Lipocone superfamily – and outlined their evolutionary pathway from bacterial defense molecules to key ...

This study illustrates a valuable application of BID-seq to bacterial RNA, allowing transcriptome-wide mapping of pseudouridine modifications across various bacterial species. The evidence presented ...

Hidden oral bacteria may take refuge in artery walls, forming biofilms that evade detection and could help trigger heart ...

Horseshoe crabs hold the world record for surviving the longest without any significant changes to their body structure. Virtually unchanged for more than 450 million years, they've earned the ...

The researchers analyzed 483 mammoth remains, mostly molars but also tusks and bones. The oldest samples are 1.1 million years old and belonged to a steppe mammoth — a species that later gave rise to ...
