As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.

Discover how a tiny RNA molecule serves as a molecular switch in viral infections, providing insights into phage biology.

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have identified a conserved small RNA molecule that enables bacteriophages to reprogramme bacterial cells following infection, a finding that ...

There’s nothing retro about retrons, which are bacterial molecules that produce DNA. Although retrons ordinarily serve an immune function in bacteria, they can, upon modification, acquire a genetic ...
