For instance, bacteria contain a single type of RNA polymerase, while eukaryotes (multicellular organisms and yeasts) contain three distinct types. In spite of these differences, there are ...

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it ...

This cat-RNA was introduced into a model microbial community using conjugative plasmids, which are naturally occurring gene carriers in bacteria. The experiment involved introducing these ...
