Florian, Max, and Ralf's paper Universal super-resolution multiplexing by DNA exchange is published in Angewandte Chemie.
Here, we analyze the impact of environmental change on the dynamics of transposition activity when horizontal DNA exchange is absent, based on a stochastic computational model of transposable element proliferation.
What with all the lacerations to Zimmerman's head and a broken nose, one would think there would have been at least a hint of a DNA exchange.
Unlike conventional genetic merging, or crossbreeding, genetic engineering takes place in a lab and involves a DNA exchange between species that are related.
The prevalence of numerous Neisseria species in the same niches in the human body provides an opportunity for DNA exchange.
Nevertheless, putative mobilization systems MobS/MobL for DNA exchange and putative toxin/antitoxin systems for plasmid maintenance are present.
The chimeric nature of pHV4 might be due to IS element-mediated DNA exchange between pHV4 and pHV1.
Our results also underscore the modularity of the microbial world and the potential for dramatic evolutionary change through DNA exchange.
This type of local synteny may be partly explained by evolutionary DNA exchange between the two replicons or by parallel insertion of homologous sequences of incoming DNA.
Alternately, it is possible that an ecological barrier, which would limit opportunity for DNA exchange, has arisen between Acinetobacter species following adaptation towards distinct niches.
We analyzed different Y. pestis isolates in laboratories in China, France and Russia, independently, without the need for strain or even DNA exchange, using a standardized protocol.
