Scientists have found how phages, viruses that infect bacteria, effectively set off an explosion of protein modifications inside host cells that helps them evade the bacteria’s immune system.
Edit
Researchers at EMBL analysed the protein degradation rate of around 4,000 genes. Their findings help explain why human embryonic development is slower than mouse embryonic development.

Researchers use synthetic biology approaches to test hundreds of DNA sequences for their effect on regulating gene expression.
Edit
Researchers have found a new layer of control over DNA repair, one that operates outside the nucleus, at the Golgi complex.
