Segal’s work is reshaping what is possible in treating neurological and genetic disorders once deemed “incurable.” He and his colleagues are developing targeted molecular tools capable of reactivating ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a cell divides, which happens constantly. Without this process, we would die.

Albrecht Kossel continued this research by closely studying the chemical composition of nuclear material. Instead of only observing cells under a microscope, he focused on their chemical structure.

Specialists from the Academician N.P. Bochkov Medical and Genetic Research Center (MGNC), together with colleagues, have completed a study of splicing variants in the DEPDC5 gene in patients with ...

Nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) are polymers of nucleotides – each nucleotide consists of a pentose sugar, a phosphate group and one of the nitrogenous bases (purines and pyrimidines). Nucleic acids ...

Now researchers led by Ludwig Lausanne's Mikaël Pittet have discovered a gene expression program executed by tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) and a corresponding biomarker that uniformly support ...

A new in vivo pharmacokinetic recall study involving 114 participants in the Estonian Biobank has provided the first clinical confirmation that previously uncharacterized genetic variants in the ...

McClintock’s maize breeding experiments provided the first detailed descriptions of transposable elements. What exactly are these “jumping genes,” and why are they so important? As previously ...

I once read an article in the New York Times entitled "How the Worm Turns." The article focused on a group of scientists who spend their entire lives studying, identifying, and tracking earthworms.

Inside USD -- The English alphabet has 26 letters, but until recently the genetic alphabet had four — adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T). However, Tammy Dwyer, USD professor of ...
