Genetic transduction is a major evolutionary force that underlies bacterial adaptation. Here
we report that the temperate bacteriophages of Staphylococcus aureus engage in a distinct …

Lysogenic induction ends the stable association between a bacteriophage and its host, and
the transition to the lytic cycle begins with early prophage excision followed by DNA …

Ternary content-addressable memory (TCAM) is used in search engines for network and big-data
