They found that a common variant of a gene called CNTNAP2, which helps coordinate interactions between cells in the nervous system, was often associated with autism. While many genes are believed ...

A TECHNIQUE for “freezing” gene expression has revealed which genes the food-poisoning bacterium Salmonella uses when it infects a cell. Salmonella enterica kills more people than any other ...

To verify whether MGNs could be used to restore the normal reading frame of a dystrophin gene with a frameshift mutation, we inserted in a plasmid coding for the dog μ-dystrophin sequences ...

At the same time, the gene also encodes a completely different protein called ARF by altering the reading frame of the codon (alternate reading frame: ARF). These two proteins possess a completely ...
