When Kostas Konstantinidis proved that many bacteria—like plants and animals—are organized into species, he upended a long-held scientific belief. Scientists widely believed that bacteria, due to ...

New research reveals that bacteria form species and maintain cohesion through frequent DNA exchange within species. This ...

Homologous recombination plays essential roles in the repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) and collapsed replication forks. The fundamental reaction in homologous recombination is the exchange of ...

Published in Cell Reports Medicine, results of a VHIO-led study support the feasibility of using RAD51 testing to complement ...

A study by Georgia Tech researchers finds that bacteria maintain species cohesion through homologous recombination, a form of frequent and random DNA exchange. This process keeps microbial species ...

In short, while bacteria may not have “sex lives” in the way humans do, their frequent DNA exchanges play a crucial role in keeping their species distinct and thriving. This discovery opens up ...

TROP2 expression in small bowel adenocarcinoma: A potential target for novel therapeutic strategies. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2025 ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium. This ...

“When DNA damaged by radiation therapy was repaired by a method called homologous recombination cancer cells died during the process of reproducing – a process called cell division or mitosi ...

"When DNA damaged by radiation therapy was repaired by a method called homologous recombination, cancer cells died during the process of reproducing—a process called cell division or mitosis.
