such as phage origins of DNA replication or phage promoters that drive abortive or suicide systems in the infected cell (for example, phage-triggered suicide systems). Bacteriophages (phages ...

Huge, bacteria-eating viruses could be a game-changer for antibiotics that currently struggle to fend off deadly infections.

A bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects bacteria. In fact, the word "bacteriophage" literally means "bacteria eater," because bacteriophages destroy their host cells. All bacteriophages ...

Our virus based bio-nano projects utilize our detailed knowledge of the structure and assembly of the 60nm capsid of the bacteriophage P22 to address both of these classes of applications. HIV-1 ...

In contrast to retroviruses, bacterial viruses (bacteriophages) use RT not for genome replication, but for viral gene variation within diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs) or for other ...
