A number of these regions are so-called pseudogenes, which may be linked to cancer. The expectation is now that this recently developed protein analysis…
If we wanted to count the number of people in a crowd, we could make on the fly estimates, very likely to be imprecise, or we could ask each person to pass…

An international scientific team has discovered a gene associated with a high risk of severe childhood asthma. The specific gene variant may be an actual cause…
Although certain liquid crystals mainly comprise water, a spontaneous alignment of electrical dipoles could incur in them and consequently a spontaneous…
For several years, biologists have attempted to provide evidence that natural selection has acted on evolvability. Now a new paper by University of…
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) investigators have used a new sequencing method to identify a group of genes used by the brain's immune cells – called…
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have used genetic engineering of human induced pluripotent stem cells to specifically…
The new study in PLoS Genetics, which may have broad implications across species, identifies the fly version the mammalian protein activin as the central…
Bioscientists at Heidelberg University have studied the function of certain proteins, known as Argonaute (Ago) proteins, in the process of gene regulation….
Johns Hopkins researchers report that the deletion of any single gene in yeast cells puts pressure on the organism’s genome to compensate, leading to a…
Scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and their colleagues are unraveling the mechanisms behind a little-known marine worm that…
The research team, which published its results in Green Chemistry, set out to decipher the inner workings of plant cell walls during pretreatment, the most…
Researchers discovered that simple modifications to the drug furamidine have a major impact on its ability to affect specific human proteins involved in the…
Tiny electrical wires protrude from some bacteria and contribute to rock and dirt formation. Researchers studying the protein that makes up one such wire have…
An international research consortium with the participation of the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and the Bonn University Hospital has…
