Given the importance of cooperation at the heart of human communities, science has looked for ways of turning it into a constant quality. According to many scientists, starting with Darwin and William Hamilton to the more recent theories of Edward Wilson and David Wilson, the...
Bacterial survival genes
A new advance in genomics research will allow for a better understanding of cellular and molecular life in oceans. In this case, the analysis focuses on the marine bacterium Polaribacter sp. MED152, a microorganism widely found in oceans which has survived in carbon-deficient environments and cannot always find...
FNR Protein: a step forward in antimicrobial research
At the laboratory of Bacterial Molecular Genetics, from the Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine of the UAB, researchers have studied which existing mechanisms of genetic regulation allow some bacteria to retain the ability to develop under...
