A batch of bacteria and viruses launched to the International Space Station returned to Earth with unexpected mutations that ...

A wealth of molecular biology has been exploited in designing and interpreting experimental evolution studies with bacteriophage T7. The modest size of its genome (40 kb dsDNA) and the ease of making ...

Bacteria incubated with bacteriophages in space accumulated distinct mutations compared to those on Earth, highlighting the ...

In a new study, scientists analyzed how a biological battle played out between a strain of E. coli and a T7 bacteriophage, ...

By simplifying the engineering process and expanding what can be built, the Golden Gate method greatly broadens the possibilities for scientists working to develop bacteriophages as tools to combat ...

In orbit above Earth, scientists are watching some of the strangest life forms in the universe rewrite the rules of evolution in real time. Viruses that prey on bacteria, along with the bacteria ...
