Genetic method leverages bacterial transfer mechanism to produce new active ingredients
Microorganisms produce a wide variety of natural products that can be used as active ingredients to treat diseases such as infections or cancer. The blueprints for these molecules can be found in the ...
A new study has shown that virus-like transposons, called Mavericks, are responsible for horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in nematodes. Researchers led by Alejandro Burga at the Austrian Academy of ...

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of registered clinical trials evaluating recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapies, in part due to AAV’s ability to ...
From the tropics to the poles, from the sea surface to hundreds of feet below, the world’s oceans are teeming with one of the tiniest of organisms: a type of bacteria called Prochlorococcus, which ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The period between the 1920s and 1950s was a time of significant progress and exciting discoveries in gene therapy history and ...
When bacteria swap DNA, the consequences can ripple across ecosystems and hospitals alike, fueling the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Now, researchers at Imperial College London have ...
