A natural antibacterial molecule shows clinical promise. Its unusual binding site is on an excellent target: ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems.

The following is a summary of “Diagnostic-avoiding Chlamydia trachomatis variants detected in cervical and endometrial specimens from women during 16S microbiome profiling,” published in the March ...

An in-depth exploration of how altitude changes affect the gut microbiota of plateau animals is crucial for uncovering the ...

In zebrafish, these two ribosome types are expressed from different genomic loci and also differ in their ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequence. To characterize this dual ribosome system further, we examined ...

Sequences are ordered lists of objects that follow specific patterns or rules. Each number in the sequence is called a term. Sequences can be classified as arithmetic or geometric. Arithmetic ...

Let’s explore what food sequencing actually entails, if it’s truly beneficial to overall health, and how to employ it in your everyday life–if you’re so inclined. Food sequencing is a ...

Investopedia / Yurle Villegas The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each successive number is equal to the sum of the two numbers that precede it. The Fibonacci sequence is one of ...

In recent years, the sequence of the 16S rRNA gene has been used to detect and identify bacterial infection in clinical practice (1), but many of the PCR methods in use are not able to further ...

SNUL-1 RNA displays high sequence similarity to pre-rRNA. Further studies revealed that the SNUL family of ncRNAs contributes to rRNA expression. Thus, our study unraveled the existence of a novel ...

Short read 16 S rRNA amplicon sequencing is a common technique used in microbiome research. However, inaccuracies in estimated bacterial community composition can occur due to amplification bias of ...

Microbial community analysis based on the 16S rRNA-gene is used to investigate both beneficial and harmful microorganisms in various fields and environments. Recently, the next-generation sequencing ...
