An operon refers to a group of neighbouring genes belonging to one or more overlapping transcription units that are transcribed in the same direction and have at least one gene in common. Operons are ...

Two University of Colorado Boulder professors have been named 2024 fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the group announced today. This year’s class of fellows ...

Most current available quantification tools for transcriptomics analyses have been designed using human data sets, in which full-length transcript sequences are available. In most prokaryotic systems, ...

My research interests focus on gaining a better understanding of the biogeochemical role of globally significant microorganisms that shape marine and terrestrial nutrient transformations, the ...

This important study shows that small proteins encoded by randomized DNA sequences can be biologically active in bacteria, suggesting an evolutionary pathway for the creation of new biological ...

Abstract: Gene regulation is an essential process for cell development, having a profound effect in dictating cell functions. Bacterial genes are often regulated through inducible systems like the Lac ...

where ΔG is the minimal free energy, L is the stem–loop length, and sl represents the stem length (number of nucleotides in a stem). Stable SLs were selected based on the number of intergenic ...

E. coli TOP10 was transformed with pPcad-RFP, pPcad-RFP-GFP, and pPcad-RFP-lacZα using a CaCl 2-mediated transformation method (Hui et al., 2018c). For the sensitivity detections, single colonies from ...

Gene expression can be regulated by various cellular processes with the aim to control the amount and nature of the expressed genes. This article aims to describe the regulatory mechanisms that ...
