A gene is a fundamental unit of heredity, consisting of a specific sequence of DNA that encodes the instructions for making a particular protein or set of proteins. Genes are passed down from parents ...

Scientists at Penn State University will reveal in the 29 March 2007 issue of the journal Nature the first complete high-resolution map of important structures that control how genes are packaged and ...

University of Wisconsin researchers Sushmita Roy and Erika Da-Inn Lee have developed a new computational tool that maps changes in the genome, ultimately helping researchers see DNA’s 3D organization ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Northwestern University identified a previously unknown treatment ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

Now, a growing body of scientific evidence shows hundreds of genes act differently in the brains of biologically male or ...

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is rapidly evolving to be the primary tool for structure determination of membrane proteins. However, generation of high quality membrane protein for structural ...

In the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, the intensity and location of the oceanographic fronts that limit the gene connectivity among populations of marine crabs vary over time. These dynamic changes ...
