Different cells have different activities. By controlling protein synthesis within each cell, the genes that make up DNA control the life of the entire organism. Although the outcome of protein ...

She has a background in neuroscience and molecular psychiatry ... Protein-coding versus noncoding genes When deciding the number of genes in the human genome, Human Genome Project researchers ...

This protein family is implicated, through different mechanisms, in both benign and malignant neoplasias. Rearrangements of HMGA genes are a feature of most benign human mesenchymal tumours.

The IAD model provides a general mechanism for the evolution of new protein functions 45,90. Essentially, duplications are selected in certain genes with weak but beneficial activities.

This paper addresses the important question of quantifying epistasis patterns, which affect the predictability of evolution, by reanalyzing a recently published combinatorial deep mutational scan ...

Cells express their genes by converting the genetic message into protein. This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed ...

In mice, this protein was able to restore the heart by activating dormant repair genes without causing side effects, such as heart enlargement. This study marks an important step toward ...

TP53 is the gene that encodes the p53 protein. p53 refers to the protein product of the TP53 gene. The traditional view of cancer development, driven by oncogene activation and tumor suppressor ...
