The process of bacterial transformation involves the introduction of foreign plasmid DNA into a bacterial cell. The transformation of DNA into bacteria cells, for example, Escherichia coli (E. coli), is an important molecular biology method used for the analysis of bacteria itself as well as for the storage and/or replication of plasmids.

			Whole body vibration adjusts the microbiome and immune cells to deter inflammation in diabetes In the face of diabetes, a common condition in which glucose and levels of destructive inflammation soar, whole body vibration appears to improve how well our body uses glucose as an energy source and adjust our microbiome and immune cells to deter inflammation, investigators report.

			Genetics may influence the composition of the microbiome more than environmental factors Researchers have found that the microbiome is influenced by genetics much more than it is by the maternal birth environment.

	Type 1 diabetes linked to gut microbiome and genetic factors A new study has revealed that the gut microbiome of children with a high genetic risk of developing type 1 diabetes is markedly different from those who have a low risk of the condition.
