Jan. 4, 2022 Researchers generated mice with a specific DNA sequence inverted to determine if orientation affects expression of a gene called H19. Expression can also be impacted if the surrounding DNA is altered ...
May 18, 2021 Scientists examining the remains of 36 bubonic plague victims from a 16th century mass grave in Germany have found the first evidence that evolutionary adaptive processes, driven by the disease, may ...
Nov. 29, 2022 A simple breeding experiment, combined with genetic analysis, can rapidly uncover genes that promote cooperation and higher yields of plant populations, according to a new study. The results have the ...
Mar. 31, 2022 Fruit flies with a new variant of a 'clock gene' are spreading northwards. Neurobiologists have now found an explanation for this ...
Nov. 29, 2023 Researchers have uncovered a mechanism that safeguards the biallelic expression of haploinsufficient genes, shedding light on the importance of having two copies of each chromosome. A study ...
June 6, 2022 Researchers are hoping to catch stomach cancer before it develops in at-risk patients. Researchers identified a genetic variation that could help identify when patients with Helicobacter pylori are ...
July 20, 2023 Plant geneticists have identified a mutation in a gene that causes the 'weeping' architecture -- branches growing downwards -- in apple trees, a finding that could improve orchard fruit ...
Nov. 29, 2022 Bats use distinct structures in the larynx to produce high-frequency echolocation calls and lower-frequency social calls, according to a new study. The structures used to make the low-pitched calls ...
Oct. 4, 2021 The first look at a threatened rattlesnake species' recent genetic history suggests that inbreeding necessitated by limited habitat may not be as detrimental as theory would predict it to ...
Apr. 18, 2022 Researchers have found that heterozygous loss of the methyl-CpG binding protein Zbtb38 downregulated the expression of the transcription factors Nanog and Sox2, as well as genes involved in epiblast ...
