Microbial comparative genomics provides insights into gene function, bacterial speciation and evolutionary relationships. In the August 14 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Murray et al ...

Identification of sepsis-causing bacteria using a new microarray platform* is highly accurate and delivers results an average of 18 hours faster than the current gold-standard system, which uses ...

Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was developed to identify pathogenic DNA copy-number changes (e.g., duplications, deletions) on a genome-wide scale, and to map these changes to genomic ...

Bacterial DNA methylation occurs at diverse sequence contexts and plays important functional roles in cellular defense and gene regulation. An increasing number of studies have reported that bacterial ...

In the early 1980s, David Gilmour, now an emeritus biochemistry and molecular biology professor at Pennsylvania State University, joined the laboratory of geneticist and biochemist John Lis as a ...
