Belgian researchers from VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology and VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology have developed a new toolbox of 16 different short DNA sequences that allow triggering ...
Chromosome segregation and site-specific recombination are central processes in bacterial cell division and genome maintenance. The orchestration of these events ensures that circular chromosomes are ...
Site-specific recombination is employed widely in bacteria and bacteriophage as a basis for genetic switching events that control phenotypic variation. It plays a vital role in the life cycles of ...
