Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

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 UB team that discovered how a gene found in 75% of us protects against neurodegeneration has now found that this same gene enhances immune function as well. The new findings were published in ...

Scientists have revealed how Fanzor2's divergence from bacterial ancestors may make it a useful tool for future genomic engineering endeavors. A revolution in biomedicine is currently underway, driven ...

We know the genes, but not their functions.” To resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

Researchers have developed a discovery platform to probe the function of genes involved in metabolism -- the sum of all life-sustaining chemical reactions. The investigators used the new platform, ...

Gene-set analysis seeks to identify the biological mechanisms underlying groups of genes with shared functions. Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in generating functional descriptions ...

Elizabeth Kellogg, PhD, St. Jude Department of Structural Biology, used cryo-EM to study the evolutionary journey of Fanzor2, a compact eukaryotic genome-editing protein with huge potential. (MEMPHIS, ...
