Bacterial nanotubes are widespread intercellular membranous bridges mediating molecular exchange among neighboring cells, yet their formation and dynamics remain largely unexplored. By combining live-...

DNA glycosylases, typically used for DNA repair, can also protect bacteria against phages that would otherwise evade host immunity by incorporating modified bases into their genomes.

In homologous recombination, DNA repair depends on recombinase filaments finding homologous templates on chromosomes whose topology is continually remodeled by replication and transcription. How dynam...

The Pentagon has told lawmakers it needs roughly $80 billion, mostly to cover the cost of the war in Iran.

Abstract. Genetic circuits for model bacteria often perform poorly in non-canonical hosts, limiting the deployment of regulatory programs in industrially r

Bacteria encode numerous stress-response pathways that protect their hosts against both internal and external threats. A key question is how these pathways are regulated, especially anti-phage immune ...

Folddisco enables protein structural motif search in million scale databases.

I'm delighted to announce that we - ELiS Lab / Inserm U1338 at the nascent Paris Biofoundry and the Computational, Quantitative, Synthetic Biology Dept. at the Sorbonne Université - are recruiting an ...

The Target of EGR1 (TOE1) gene encodes the TOE1 deadenylase, which is essential for the maturation of Pol-II transcribed snRNAs in humans. Over a dozen missense mutations in the TOE1 gene have been li...
