In fact, each gene in cellular DNA contains the code for a unique protein structure. Not only are these proteins assembled with different amino acid sequences, but they also are held together by ...

“You just can’t reduce something as complex as human exploration to a single gene,” he says, laughing. “Genetics doesn’t work that way.” Fortunately for me, I had to wander only a ...

Beyond the ladder-like structure described above, another key characteristic of double-stranded DNA is its unique three-dimensional shape. The first photographic evidence of this shape was ...

Researchers from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and the University of Rome Tor Vergata in Italy have developed ...

As a general orientation, the following areas of research are among those represented in the program: molecular biology of the regulation of gene expression; chromosome structure and chromosomal ...

Oct. 28, 2024 — Using state-of-the-art technology, researchers have identified several specific steps needed for CRISPR to become active and perform its gene editing function. These preclinical ...

How do sex chromosomes affect intelligence? Created with Sketch. The X chromosome carries at least 150 genes linked to intelligence. Since the mother has two X chromosomes to pass along while the ...

The next step was to find out its structure, in order to understand how the gene, the basic unit of heredity, works and how it is passed from one generation to the next. Crick and Watson were ...

The longer form of the RNA produced from a microRNA gene acts as a precursor. It's able to fold over and base-pair with itself, forming a structure called a hairpin. An enzyme called Dicer ...

A new research paper was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science), Volume 16, Issue 20 on October 17, 2024, entitled, "Werner syndrome RECQ ...

CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell.

Elizabeth Kellogg, Ph.D., St. Jude Department of Structural Biology, studied the structure of Fanzor2 to chart how these ...
