An in vivo base editing approach targeting the PRNP gene led to a 52% increase in the lifespan of mouse models inoculated with the most common sporadic and genetic types of human pathogenic prion ...

These will appear along with the birthday cake emoji, and here are the dates they correspond with: Notably, Snapchat has other friend-related symbols. You can even change your friend emojis on ...

Washing labels aren't always the most straightforward to read, and if you don't know what they mean you could end up ruining your clothes. Thankfully the symbols they use are (mostly) universal, so ...

Some genes are beneficial and enhance longevity. For example, the gene that helps a person metabolize cholesterol would reduce a person's risk of heart disease. Some gene mutations are inherited.

Third, we found a series of enrichments related with global regulation of gene expression (positive: FDR=4.4e-2, negative: FDR=5.4e-2), and RNA biosynthesis (positive: FDR=5.4e-2, negative: FDR=5.8e-2 ...

Gene regulation refers to the mechanisms that act to induce or repress the expression of a gene. These include structural and chemical changes to the genetic material, binding of proteins to ...

Each gene tells a cell to make a specific molecule, but this isn't performed by the DNA itself. Instead, the information is relayed to cellular machinery by a molecule called messenger RNA.

New work by Columbia researchers has turned a textbook principle of genetics on its head and revealed why some people who carry disease-causing genes experience no symptoms. Every biology student ...

The DAVID functional annotation tool 6.8 (Huang et al., 2009b; Huang et al., 2009a) allows us to fill the gap by converting gene symbols into Entrez IDs. We apply the DAVID tools to the node lists of ...

Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops in the world. The production and productivity of wheat is adversely affected by several diseases including leaf rust, which can cause yield losses, ...
