Proteins are how cells get work done. They carry out nearly every important cellular task, from ferrying messages to ...

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple loci associated with complex diseases, but these are mostly ...

Bacteria have evolved sophisticated antiphage systems that halt phage replication upon detecting specific phage triggers. Identifying phage triggers is crucial to our understanding of immune ...

Scientists have found new genetic causes for diabetes in babies—in a part of the genome that has historically been overlooked in genetic studies. Until recently, most research has investigated causes ...

Researchers reveal the fundamental role that mRNA’s tail, the 3′UTR, plays in the folding of complex regulatory proteins. Proteins are how cells get work done. They carry out nearly every important ...

When researchers look for potential cancer therapy targets, they typically go after protein-coding genes that participate in disease progression. Disrupt them and negate whatever role they play in ...

Scientists have found new genetic causes for diabetes in babies – in a part of the genome that has historically been overlooked in genetic studies. Until recently, most research has investigated ...

Like islands scattered across a vast intergenic sea, the nearly 20,000 protein-coding genes within the human genome represent a mere 2 percent of its 3 billion base pairs. When, where, and to what ...
