Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – The University at Buffalo team that discovered how a gene found in 75% of us protects against neurodegeneration has now found that this same gene enhances immune function as well. The ...

A new resource from the Gene Ontology Consortium, a comprehensive encyclopedia of the known functions of all protein-coding human genes, has been completed and released on a new website. For the first ...

We know the genes, but not their functions—to resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research team has proposed a cutting-edge research strategy that leverages artificial ...

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell select this information? A large molecular machine called the spliceosome ...

Triterpenoid saponins are widely valued for their diverse pharmacological activities and also play important defensive roles ...

A comprehensive encyclopedia of the known functions of all protein-coding human genes has just been completed and released. Researchers used large-scale evolutionary modeling to integrate data on ...
