Combining genetic, biochemical, and structural approaches, the authors show how translation of rpsU (bS21) in Flavobacterium johnsoniae is autoregulated by ribosomes lacking bS21…
The College of Arts and Sciences Student Council has awarded Dr. Darryl Wesener with the 2025-2026 Outstanding Teaching Award.
The award,…
Three Microbiology majors won awards at the Denman Undergraduate Research Forum last week:
DNA replication duplicates the genome and the resultant chromosomes are then segregated into daughter cells. How this segregation process is achieved in archaea has been poorly understood. A new…
Congratulations to the Justin North Lab on their recent publication! Members of the North Lab, in collaboration with researchers from Brookhaven National Laboratory, Berkeley…
It is now well established that the remarkably complex eukaryotic DNA replication apparatus evolved from a related but simpler machinery found in present day archaea. However, the evolutionary…

Washington, D.C.—The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) announced the recipients of its 2026 Awards and Prize Program. The awards recognize leading…
DNA replication is an essential process for the propagation of life on this planet. Steve Bell’s lab has been studying this process in the hyperthermophilic microrganisms of the archaeal domain of…
Bacterial termination factor Rho triggers the premature release of poorly translated and potentially harmful RNAs to maintain the transcriptome quality and silence prophages. In turn, bacteria and…
