Genetics is the study of genes and heredity. Heredity is the passing of genetic information and traits (such as eye color and an increased chance of getting a certain disease) from parents to offspring.

Researchers determine a novel antiviral technique to combat bacteria

Bacteria use a wide range of defense strategies to combat viral infection, and some of these systems have resulted in game-changing technologies like CRISPR-based gene editing.

A new study analyzes antimicrobial detergents and textile chemicals in homes

The use of less bleach and lower temperatures over washing machine cycles is promoted as a result of shifting societal attitudes toward the environment.

8 Jul 2022

Scientists link the function of specific domain of proteins to a cancer trigger in humans

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have definitively linked the function of a specific domain of proteins important in plant-microbe biology to a cancer trigger in humans, knowledge that had eluded scientists for decades.
