Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, ...
A signal-processing–based framework converts DNA sequences into numerical signals to identify protein-coding regions. By integrating spectral ...
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 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 ...
No gene acts alone: interacting variants and protein partnerships can worsen, mask or even rescue disease risk, demanding ...
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 ...
The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...
