The overexpression of a gene tied to cell division and the structure and function of neurons may prevent and protect against cognitive decline in both mice and humans with Alzheimer's disease (AD), ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible to the cellular machinery that works to express the right genes at the ...

Chromosomes are thread-like structures comprising DNA that are present inside the nucleus of every cell in the body. Specific segments of DNA are called genes. Every chromosome contains many genes, ...

Research is shaking up how we think about evolution, suggesting there's a level of predictability influenced by genes and ...

This study is led by Dr. Yue Zhou (State Key Laboratory of Gene Function and Modulation Research, School of Advanced Agricultural Sciences, Peking-Tsinghua Center for Life Sciences, Peking University, ...

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 ...

The effects of inversion variation on gene structure and function were analyzed through the whole genome, revealing that the genes related to stress response were obviously enriched within or near the ...

University at Buffalo researchers have found that the active form of a gene promotes a broad range of protective traits. The gene is found in 75% of the population and is known to protect against ...

A protein, the farnesoid X receptor, that is a key modulator of fat, glucose and cholesterol levels in the body usually works ...
