Mobile DNA is DNA that can change its position within a genome. It is an integral component of most bacterial genomes, and also implicated in the spreading of drug resistance genes among pathogenic bacteria. Why does mobile DNA persist in genomes? On one hand, mobile DNA may be a very effective parasite, replicating itself at … [More Info]

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Researcher to work on the identification, cloning and heterologous expression of the genes encoding the enzymes catalysing the four steps of the important pathway of plant sterol dealkylation to cholesterol in insects. The project will involve a range of post-genomic technologies, including bioinformatics and proteomics. Most species of invertebrate … [More Info]
