As a control, DNA was isolated from aliquots of the same 8 cultures using Norgen's Phage DNA Isolation Kit without performing the Proteinase K treatment.

He and a colleague proved a theory advanced by the Nobel Prize winners James Watson and Francis Crick, who discovered DNA’s ...

Norgen Biotek is committed to supporting researchers in this effort by providing reliable tools like the Phage DNA Isolation Kit, helping to drive progress in the fight against AMR.

Calvin’s biology department offers a special research program for a select group of first-year students. In this two-semester program, you’ll gather specimens and isolate a unique bacterial virus, ...

Typically, Lsr2 helps bacteria replicate its own DNA. When a phage attacks, however, the virus co-opts the protein, using it to replicate phage DNA and overwhelm the bacteria.

Researchers have discovered a previously unknown anti-phage defense mechanism in some bacteria that uses unique new ways to protect itself against phages. The discovery explains why some bacteria ...

Viruses that infect bacteria may drive the evolution of drug-resistant superbugs by inserting their genes into the bacterial DNA, a new study suggests.

Phage therapy is a potential treatment for bacterial infections. As an alternative to antibiotics, it has some promise, but more research is needed.

Some bacteria-killing viruses spell out their genetic instructions in a different DNA alphabet. More than 40 years ago, scientists in Russia reported that a type of bacteriophage called cyanophage ...
