2004). Also, whereas bacterial chromosomes are circular, eukaryotic chromosomes are linear. During circular DNA replication, the excised primer is readily replaced by nucleotides, leaving no gap ...

Researchers from Durham University, Jagiellonian University (Poland) and the John Innes Center have achieved a breakthrough ...

Using high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy researchers uncovered unprecedented detail of gyrase’s action on DNA.

GEM Toronto competed at the International Genetically Engineered Machine competition in Paris, France in October ...

A plasmid is a small, circular, double-stranded DNA molecule that is distinct from a cell's chromosomal DNA. Plasmids naturally exist in bacterial cells, and they also occur in some eukaryotes.

This resistance mechanism relies on plasmids, small circular DNA elements. Antimicrobial resistance poses serious public health issues, with thousands of deaths each year. These infections often occur ...
