Researchers in the Raman Lab at UW recently published a study discussing sending microbes into space at the International ...

Bacteriophages are a special type of virus that infect bacteria and have amazing structural and functional diversity. When a bacteriophage infects a bacterium, it can hijack the molecular machinery of ...

The term lysogenic refers to the ability of bacteriophages to assume a dormant state, referred to as a prophage, in the bacterial cell. Lysogeny is characterised by the integration of the viral DNA ...
