Computational prediction of gene structure is crucial for interpreting genomic sequences. But how do the algorithms involved work and how accurate are they? Expression-based systems that use only ...

The question “What is a gene?” has bothered geneticists for fifty years. Recent work with a small bacterial virus has shown how to split the gene and make detailed maps of its internal structure ...

Ionising radiation includes gamma rays, X-rays and ultraviolet rays. The greater the dose of radiation a cell gets, the greater the chance of a mutation. Mutations could cause different genes to ...

It is this carefully controlled pattern of what is called "gene expression" that makes a liver cell different from a muscle cell, and a healthy cell different from a cancer cell. But how can ...

Ribonucleic acid, commonly known as RNA, is involved in many biological functions, and some, including gene silencing, are utilized to cure diseases. RNA has recently gained attention as a promising ...

Recombinase efficiency increases allow Qi Biodesign to insert 20-30 kb (5 or 6 genes) at one time at one location across a variety of different crop genetics. In addition, a large team at Qi Biodesign ...

A rapid experimental genetic test can help guide the hands of surgeons as they delicately remove tumors from patien ...

The manuscript addresses the 3D chromatin architecture in monocytes from patients with alcohol-associated hepatitis and its relationship to enhanced transcription of innate immune genes. While the ...

Sequences within each gene's repetitive region—its TIGR arrays ... They have determined the molecular structure of one of the Tas proteins they found to work in human cells, and will use ...

In  a  paper  published  on  aBIOTECH,  the  authors  revealed  the  joint  regulation  of  chromatin structure and gene expression by BMI1s, the core components of Arabidopsis PRC1, and the condensin ...
