Bacterial Genomes Provide “Shadow History” of Animal Evolution
A reliable way to determine when certain groups of bacteria appeared in the evolutionary record could be used to identify when significant changes occurred in the evolution of bacteria, and to reveal details about the primitive environments that drove such changes in the first place.

Engineered DNA Vaccine Protects Against Emerging Mayaro Virus Infection
A novel, synthetic DNA vaccine induces protective immunity against Mayaro virus, a mosquito-borne infection endemic to South America, that has the potential to become a global emerging viral threat.

Genes That Help Harmful Bacteria Thwart Treatment
Researchers at Rutgers University-New Brunswick found the two genes in some strains of S. aureus bacteria. The genes protect the germs from copper, which is increasingly used in the global fight against severe infections.
