This study shows that engineering FAD biosynthesis in E. coli to produce nucleotide analogues increases tolerance to aminoglycoside antibiotics by altering metabolic pathways.

This paper develops a humanized Galleria mellonella model to study prophage-mediated breakdown of colonization resistance against Salmonella, finding that prophages enhance pathogen success through metabolic changes in resident bacteria.

The paper provides empirical evidence that some insertion sequences (ISs) can repair DNA breaks in bacterial genomes by inserting without generating target site duplications (TSDs) during large-scale genome rearrangements.

The paper identifies transcription factor (TF) binding dynamics as the main driver of gene expression noise in yeast, showing that cooperation and competition among TFs increase noise.
