New Georgia Tech research shows bacteria form distinct species and maintain cohesion through frequent DNA exchange via homologous recombination.

Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have discovered a unique genetic mechanism that provides cells with rapid and efficient protection against viruses. The findings could lead ...

In short, while bacteria may not have “sex lives” in the way humans do, their frequent DNA exchanges play a crucial role in ...

When Kostas Konstantinidis proved that many microbes — like plants and animals — are organized into species, he upended a ...

Pluripotent stem cells are cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into the three primary germ cell layers of the early embryo and therefore into all cells of the ...

The film explains the process of plant reproduction, covering both asexual and sexual methods. Asexual reproduction is demonstrated through simple organisms like algae, where cell division leads to ...
