Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 93, No. 25 (Dec. 10, 1996), pp. 14648-14653 (6 pages) cagA, a gene that codes for an immunodominant antigen, is ...
Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity islands (SaPIs) are highly mobile phage-related mobile genetic elements in staphylococci. Elements similar to SaPIs have been detected in related Gram-positive ...
Small RNA (sRNA) genes are expressed in all organisms, primarily as regulators of translation and message stability. We have developed comparative genomic approaches to identify sRNAs that are ...
Genomic 'islands' that evolved from viruses can be converted into 'drones' that disable Staphylococcus aureus, bacteria that are often resistant to antibiotics, a new study finds. Genomic "islands" ...
Drones have been hyped by Amazon as the future of package delivery, but nanoscale drones called genomic islands have been shuttling genetic packages between bacteria for a long, long time.
