The toxin colicin E3 targets the 30S subunit of bacterial ribosomes and cleaves a phosphodiester bond in the decoding center. We present the crystal structure of the 70S ribosome in complex with the ...
Two key sequencing techniques are no longer at odds, thanks to an international effort led by scientists at University of California (UC) San Diego. The researchers have developed a reference database ...
Experimentally induced interspecific matings between Heliothis virescens male and H. subflexa female moths result in sterile male and fertile female offspring. The fertile female progeny can be ...
Since the beginning of the microbiome era decades ago, 16S rRNA gene-based amplicon sequencing has been widely adopted for microbial composition profiling. Many researchers might assume the 16S ...
Bioinformatics and microbial taxonomy experts introduce the challenges of defining bacterial species in an era of rapidly ...
New research identifies distinct facial microbiota signatures in adolescent acne. Learn more about the key bacterial species ...
