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

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).
