More than just a DNA repair deficiency syndrome: Impaired acetylation in Cockayne syndrome B
The Cockayne syndrome is a very rare hereditary disease, which can lead among others to dwarfism, neurological impairment, premature aging
Scientists discover potential therapy for human copper metabolism disorders
Individuals with defects in copper metabolism may soon have more targeted treatment options thanks to a discovery by a research
Phages work together to suppress CRISPR bacterial immunity
CRISPR, or clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, are an essential part of bacterial immunity designed to defend against foreign
Mighty mitochondria flex their DNA power to help nucleus run the cell: Scientists say the newly discovered intracellular genetic messaging could lead to new approaches for treating diseases
USC researchers have discovered that transfer of vital genetic information within a cell isn’t the one-way telegraph once thought, opening
Mutation and 3D modeling reveal new structure to cell division process
Cell division is one of the most fundamental processes of biology. It’s what allows all living things to grow, multiply
Not junk: ‘Jumping gene’ is critical for early embryo: Gene that makes up a fifth of the human genome is not a parasite, but key to the first stages of embryonic development
A so-called “jumping gene” that researchers long considered either genetic junk or a pernicious parasite is actually a critical regulator
Improved ape genome assemblies provide new insights into human evolution: Better understanding of genetic influences on primate and human brain differences was also gained through comparative organoid models
New, higher-quality assemblies of great ape genomes have now been generated without the guidance of the human reference genome. The
A change in bacteria’s genetic code holds promise of longer-lasting drugs
By altering the genetic code in bacteria, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have demonstrated a method to
Scientists identify novel cellular mechanism that can lead to cancer metastasis
Scientists at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute have added a new dimension to the understanding of how cells alter
