Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts.

RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut ...

In a nutshell Scientists discovered a tiny genetic change in the NOVA1 gene that exists only in modern humans — not in ...

A clinical research team from the LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), and international genetic researchers led a global research study using multi-omics analysis and ...

In a global study led by Dr Brian Chung Hong-yin (left), the HKUMed research team identifies a novel gene, DDX39B, for a rare ...

When the monkeys were single-celled embryos, scientists had used CRISPR editing tools to silence, or “knock out”, a gene that ...

With more than 100,000 Americans waiting on a new organ, xenotransplantation is a leading example of how editing animals ...

E1s and E2s first work generically across the cell to activate and prepare ubiquitin for attachment. E3 ligases then ensure that the tag is added to the right protein; as such, hundreds of specific ...

Scientists employ deep learning to analyze and compare gene regulation across various cell types in human and chicken brains.

Once scientists have collected an eDNA sample, they analyze it via bar coding, which can either look for a single species or ...

Each cell of the human body contains two meters of DNA. The whole secret lies in the intricate three-dimensional arrangement that allows DNA strands to be efficiently organized and compacted within ...
