#E. coli

Микробиом кишечника: познакомьтесь с E. coli Бактерия Escherichia coli, или проще E. coli, имеет репутацию опасного микроба, способного вызвать серьезные заболевания, такие как инфекции мочевыводящих путей, гастроинтестинальные расстройства, почечную недостаточность и даже смерть. Однако эта

Bacteria are among the oldest life forms on Earth and exist nearly everywhere; in the soil, water, deep in the earth’s crust and in our own bodies. Actually, there are at least as many bacterial cells in the human body as human cells. Bacteria tend to get a bad rap, but now, armed with new research

Researchers at Harvard Medical School have "radically rewritten" the genome of bacteria E. coli. The team has replaced 7 of its 64 codons (3-letter sequences which correspond usually to a single animo acid.) The lab, led by George Church, had already proven it is possible to recode single amino

Scientists first transcribed the genome—or complete genetic code—of a free living organism in 1995. Sequencing the bacterium H. Influenzae took a little over a year, cost about $1 million, and... read more The post Smartphone-Sized Genetic Sequencer Transcribes Entire Bacterial Genome appeared
