Isolate, characterize and name your newly discovered phage. Sequence the DNA of your phage and explore its genome. All discoveries are shared in public databases used by researchers across the world ...

pointing out that further experiments were required to establish the role that DNA played in phage replication. In fact, Hershey and Chase circumspectly ended their paper with the following ...

Meet the jumbo phage. Scientists believe they’ve cracked the code on how its ‘secret handshakes’ act as a shield against the ...

Protein complex in bacterial cell membrane acts like a rotary motor to recruit DNA-degrading enzymes to defend against phage infection.

Dennis D'Amico, associate professor of animal science, has demonstrated that bacteriophages can effectively reduce the amount ...

They looked closely at the endonuclease, an enzyme that serves as a DNA cutting tool. The endonuclease from one phage's ...

You will use research methods to characterize and analyze your phage, and then catalog your data in an international DNA sequence database.

Researchers are investigating whether certain viruses known as bacteriophages, or phages, which specifically infect bacteria but not human cells, affect the development of type 1 diabetes in young ...

The jumbo phage has more than four times the DNA of an average phage. It uses this genetic material to create a restricted space inside bacteria where it can copy its DNA while surrounded by a ...

Scientists insert variable DNA sequences coding for their proteins of interest into plasmids that carry a phage coat protein gene, an antibiotic resistance gene, and a packaging signal. Then they ...

Strep throat, something we've all had at some point in our lives, is caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes. Infection ...
