Engineered E. coli swarms record chemical and light inputs in visible
1+ hour, 22+ min ago (521+ words) Bacteria are famous for forming patterns, from the concentric rings of Proteus colonies to the branching networks that motile microbes paint across agar plates. Now researchers at Columbia University have turned one of biology’s most familiar workhorses, Escherichia coli, into…...
Engineered Bacteria Turn Nitrogen Gas Into L-Glutamate in Fermenter
4+ hour, 34+ min ago (56+ words) A team of researchers in Japan has coaxed two bacteria working together to make one of the food industry’s most important amino acids directly from nitrogen gas, a feat that could loosen the grip of the energy-hungry Haber–Bosch process…...
New PCRpanel software automates design of ultra-multiplex sequencing panels
6+ hour, 25+ min ago (646+ words) Designing a polymerase chain reaction assay that reliably amplifies one stretch of DNA is a solved problem in most molecular biology laboratories....
We Know How to Turn Human Neurons Into Hardware.
7+ hour, 54+ min ago (34+ words) Alas, We Don’t Know What They Can Experience. For decades, we imagined the disturbing future as a machine becoming alive. A computer would grow more …...
Regarding Advances in Biological Power Generation and AI
10+ hour, 53+ min ago (439+ words) Scientists have discovered that living organisms can power computers. Fortunately, I have seen no movies suggesting where this might …...
Engineered Cereal Crops Could Become Factories for Fish Oils, Waxes and
12+ hour, 19+ min ago (115+ words) The world’s staple grains may be on the verge of an identity change. Rice, maize and wheat, crops that have long been valued almost exclusively for their starch and protein, are emerging as promising biological factories for some of the…...
Cryo-EM Reveals How Cas12a Uses a DNA Guide to Hunt RNA Targets
14+ hour, 46+ min ago (741+ words) The CRISPR world has long been organized around a simple division of labor: some Cas enzymes are steered by RNA guides to cut DNA, while others are loaded with DNA guides to find RNA....
Biobots arise from the cells of dead organisms − pushing the boundaries of life, death and medicine
15+ hour, 26+ min ago (334+ words) Given the right conditions, certain types of cells are able to self-assemble into new lifeforms after the organism they were once part of has died....
Silkworm Silk Turned Into Magnetic Lanthanum Adsorbent That Strips
15+ hour, 45+ min ago (639+ words) A single silk worm cocoon, normally destined for the waste stream, has become the unlikely foundation of a new weapon against one of the world’s most stubborn water pollution problems....
Simpler CRISPR-Cas9 System Speeds Genome Editing in Bacillus Bacteria
17+ hour, 5+ min ago (55+ words) Researchers in Germany have unveiled a streamlined genome-editing tool that could make it considerably easier to engineer Bacillus bacteria, a group of microbes that sits at the heart of numerous industrial processes, from enzyme production to the manufacture of vitamins…...
