Evolution is traditionally associated with a process of increasing complexity and gaining new genes. However, the explosion ...

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 ...

A study has identified a wheat nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) gene pair, RXL and Pm5e, that confers ...

It seeks to understand the process of trait inheritance from parents to offspring, including the molecular structure and function of genes, gene behaviour in the context of a cell or organism (e.g ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

Structural biologists provide a first-time look at the atomic level into the quality control mechanism of this complex molecular machine A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that ...

Due to proteostasis stress induced by aging or disease, misfolded proteins can form toxic intermediate species of aggregates and eventually mature into less toxic inclusion bodies (IBs). Here, using a ...

Gene Quinn is a patent attorney and a leading commentator on patent law and innovation policy. Mr. Quinn has twice been named one of the top 50 most influential people in IP by Managing IP ...

The act—triggered by the Great Recession—is 848 pages long, and opponents argue that all the regulation will cause inefficiency and discourage investments. Although the SEC has been an ...
