Gene products are often proteins, however non-protein coding genes can encode functional RNA, including ribosomal RNA (rRNA ... somatic mitochondrial DNA mutations in single cells (termed ...

Amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) techniques developed to profile microbial communities directly from fermented foods, and are ...

All extracted DNA samples were stored at −80°C before further experiments. For bacterial PCR amplification, we targeted the hypervariable regions V3-V4 of the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene using the ...

While no overall associations emerged between oral microbial characteristics and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, researchers ...

Ancient DNA is telling us more and more about humans and environments long past. Could it also help rescue the future? Eske Willerslev was on a tour of Montreal’s Redpath Museum, a Victorian-era ...

Environments are littered with the DNA of the creatures that inhabit them. Analyzing it could provide a real-time view of how our planet is changing. When you purchase through links on our site ...

Bacteria navigate tradeoffs between phage resistance and interbacterial competition. This study reveals that while LPS ...
