Bacteria possess unique traits with great potential for benefiting society. However, current genetic engineering methods to harness these advantages are limited to a small fraction of bacterial ...

Natural transformation is a form of horizontal gene transfer by which bacteria internalise free DNA from their surroundings and integrate it into their genomes through homologous recombination. This ...

These mutations improve biocontainment, transformation stability, and overall performance in genetic engineering of plants. Complementing the strains, researchers also developed new plasmids and a ...

Researchers have embedded cell-free gene expression inside a microtubule network to create an active material whose flows, buckling, oscillations and arrests are programmed autonomously by synthetic ...

Beijing Zhongke Journal Publising Co. Ltd. Through genotyping of regenerated events, the authors first showed that 97% of 104 elite soybean genotypes (101) were simultaneously transformed and the ...
