The Golden Gate Assembly platform engineers bacteriophages synthetically using sequence data rather than bacteriophage isolates.

While the world was busy arguing over AI-generated art and essays, a team at the Arc Institute and Stanford University was ...

Scientists can now design fully synthetic bacteriophages, with potential to reshape the fight against antibiotic resistance.

“Mirror bacteria” made in a lab could endanger all life on earth, an international group of leading scientists have warned in a new report. All building-block molecules of life like DNA, proteins and ...

Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As ...

Ville Santala, a biotech professor at Tampere University in Finland, is helping to tackle the plastic pollution crisis by using genetic engineering to create plastic-gobbling bacteria. According to a ...

One of the limitations of using phages to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria is the process of engineering them, but a new ...

Even the most disparate forms of life on this planet have one thing in common—they're made of the same building blocks. As scientists seek to better understand the molecular nature of life, the ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing more of a specific protein, even proteins that would normally destroy them, ...
