From 1976 to 1986, she directed the Plasmid Reference Center at Stanford -- a repository of genetic information about phage genes. She retired in 1985. Esther Miriam Zimmer was born to a poor ...

Previous research had shown that the lambda phage introduced its own genetic information into that of its host, inserting it at a specific site in the host genome.

Antibiotic resistance could be overcome if phage therapies were produced more efficiently, for example, through the use of recombitrons. genprowebdirectory Facebook Linkedin RSS Twitter Youtube ...

Sometimes the lambda phage cooperates with others. Sometimes it competes. "Instead of just the cell making a decision, we found the phage DNAs themselves also make decisions," Zeng said.
