Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause acute and chronic infections. Responsible for many ...
Transposons are critical drivers of bacterial evolution that have been studied for many decades and have been the subject of Nobel Prize winning research. Now, researchers from Cornell University have ...

Transposon mutagenesis has emerged as a pivotal tool for dissecting the genetic basis of bacterial virulence and survival. By mobilising a transposable element into random chromosomal sites, ...
Transposon directed insertion-site sequencing (TraDIS) is a powerful high-throughput assay used to identify essential bacterial genes in various growth conditions 1. This technique operates by ...
Despite rapid advances in reading the genetic code of living organisms, scientists still face a major challenge today—knowing a gene's sequence does not automatically reveal what it does. Even in ...
ITHACA, N.Y. -- Transposons, or “jumping genes” – DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another – are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance.
