Bacterial genomes are singular, circular chromosomes. Because bacterial genes only contain one copy of each chromosome, they reproduce by making an exact copy, or clone, of themselves.
Date: October 8, 2020 Time: 9:00am (PTD), 12:00pm (EDT), 5:00pm (GMT) Small DNA viruses require both host DNA replication and repair factors for their replication. The host cell replication...
In this webinar, we will present QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench and its utility for bacterial isolate identification, strain discrimination using core genome multi-locus typing (cgMLST) and d...
The transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG) to pathogenic microbes is a major concern in modern medicine. Antibiotic therapies are often rendered ineffective by horizontal acquisiti...
Prokaryotic DNA contains three types of methylation: N6-methyladenine, N4-methylcytosine and 5-methylcytosine. The lack of tools to analyse the frequency and distribution of methylated resid...
To establish productive infection, plant viruses need to be able to efficiently invade and spread within a plant. Most viruses are introduced into a plant via the epidermal or mesophyll cell...
Background: Haemophilus influenzae is the causative agent of multiple human disease conditions among multiple sites in the human body. Underlying genetic mechanisms are elusive, particularly...
Here I review the applications of Ion Torrent NGS technology in the field of microbiome research and some recent publications about it. With Ion Torrent 16S rRNA next generation sequencing,...
In his 2018 TED talk “How to build synthetic DNA and send it across the internet,” Dr. Dan Gibson highlighted a unique synthetic biology approach for fighting pandemics such as S...
NGS is still perceived as a complex, hard to implement and validate method that requires highly experienced people. Outsourcing next-generation sequencing (NGS) testing could be an option to...

Environment drives bacterial functional diversification. Molecular functional abilities of individual microbes and microbiomes from different envrionment conditions, such as temperature or sa...
With humans pushing to live further off Earth for longer periods of time, it is increasingly important to understand the changes that occur in biological systems during spaceflight whether th...
Background: The vast majority of all genes are contained within the genomes of the prokaryotes, including the eubacteria and the archaea. These largely single-cellular domains of life thus...
In contrast to other countries in Latin America, Peru had been notoriously spared by the global dissemination of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-Kp) until recently. Isolated ca...
Learning objectives:1. Metagenomic analysis is already complex, and complicated further by incomplete and non-standardized databases of known organisms2. Fungi may have their own 'mic...
Screening to identify all known viruses and other pathogenic microorganisms including bacteria, fungus and parasites in human tumor tissues will provide a more comprehensive understanding of...
Tuberculosis has killed more than one billion people in the last 200 years. It is the oldest and the deadliest human pathogen, recently surpassing HIV. Its adaptation to host and drug pressur...
Rapid, inexpensive, and sensitive nucleic acid detection may aid point-of-care pathogen detection, genotyping, and disease monitoring. We combine the RNA- targeting CRISPR effector Cas13 with...
The CRISPR-Cas9 system has proven to be a powerful tool for genome editing allowing for the precise modification of specific DNA sequences within a cell. Many efforts are currently underway t...
PacBio Sequencing has been recognized as the gold standard in microbial sequencing due to simultaneously providing long sequence reads (genome contiguity), high consensus accuracy (genome acc...
The soil microbiome can produce, resist, or degrade antibiotics and even catabolize them. Resistance genes are widely distributed in the soil and may act as a reservoir for pathogen antibioti...
The bacterium Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii causes Stewart’s wilt disease in corn and serves as a model for other xylem-dwelling phytopathogens. P. stewartii is transmitted to plan...
Reducing the impact of infectious diseases is becoming increasingly vital as the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues to rise, threatening the effective prevention and treat...
