Conjugation is a form of horizontal gene transfer that allows the exchange of genetic material between two organisms or cells ...

The authors have demonstrated the use of adenine base editors delivered via adeno-associated viruses to introduce edits in the mitochondrial genome. The manuscript describes the methodology well, and ...

Catani and colleagues provide data on antigenic properties of neuraminidase proteins of pandemic H1N1 and show that antigenic diversity of the neuraminidase from 2009 to 2020 largely falls into two ...

Like any other organism, bacteria are constantly exposed to pathogenic threats, such as viruses and plasmids. The Aviram Lab is interested in understanding how bacterial cells protect themselves from ...

The rise of antibiotic resistance demands urgent research into its molecular mechanisms to inform the development of effective, novel antimicrobial therapies.

A notable observation was the coexistence of virulence and resistance genes. The hybridization data from S1-PFGE and southern blot revealed distinct molecular weights for the virulent and ...

Plasmids encoding each protein component of the vesicular ... then evaluated the fitness of the mutant recombinant viruses. Intriguingly, we were unable to isolate stable infectious viral particles ...

However, such genes need to be supplied by other means - through plasmids, helper viruses, or packages cell lines - in order to produce the viral vector particles and infect cells. The risk resides in ...

We will accept for deposit: animal viruses of Risk Group Levels 1 and 2 that can be propagated in cell culture, Risk Group Levels 1 and 2 bacteria, all bacteriophages, all mammalian cell lines, and ...
