    Ever wonder how to streak for singles in a biology lab?
    MIT Open Learning @mitopenlearning
    One of the main goals for microbiologists in an experiment is to connect a cell genotype with a specific phenotype. To do this, they need to start with a single cell. @MITBiology researcher Yashna Thepetta explains how you get there, through a process called "streaking for singles." Wonder what else you can learn?

    Why are some bacterial genomes high in purines? In certain species of bacteria, the answer lies in shielding RNA transcripts from a quality-control factor called Rho (1/3).

    We're excited to share our latest publication, from graduate student Julia Dierksheide in the lab! In B. subtilis, the fast-moving RNA polymerase outpaces the leading ribosome, leaving mRNA transcripts vulnerable to the transcription termination factor Rho. (1/2)

    RT @mitopenlearning: Rickettsia is the bacterium behind Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever—the deadliest tick-borne bacterial disease in the world. At the Lamason Lab, part of @MITBiology, researchers are working to understand how intracellular bacterial pathogens, such as rickettsia, hijack host cell processes to promote infection.
