An international collaboration has achieved an important breakthrough in understanding the genetic mechanisms that allow bacteria to build resistance to drugs.

Plasmids come in different sizes and conformations, and so confirming and verifying plasmid quality is essential for downstream use. Scientists commonly do this using gel electrophoresis analysis, ...

The research team determined that one protein uses a short piece of DNA – known as a DNA guide – to set off events that recruit another protein to chop up the plasmid. Beyond revealing a ...
