Figure 1 shows their most likely positions. This study has allowed better localisation of the chromosome 11 atopy gene, based on maternally derived alleles in affected children. The most likely ...

A study led by bioengineers at the University of California San Diego sheds new light on how a type of heart valve disease, called aortic valve stenosis, progresses differently in males and females.

Lignans are low molecular weight polyphenolic compounds with important antitumor and antiviral properties. However, their low amounts in medicinal plants and complex structures make sustainable ...

Their most recent work investigated the granular details of how proteins stabilize key structures on chromatids—condensed or compact DNA—to enable the separation of the duplicated DNA structure into a ...

Bozdag observed the yeast when it was 1,000 days old and saw characteristics suggesting it might have gone from diploidy (having two sets of chromosomes) to tetraploidy (having four). Decades of ...

Transposons, or "jumping genes"—DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another—are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance. Cornell ...

Polyphosphate (polyP) exists in all life forms; however, its biological functions in metazoans are understudied. Here, we explored Drosophila as the first genetic model to explore polyP biology in ...

Mammalian genomes are organized by multi-level folding, yet how this organization contributes to cell type-specific transcription remain unclear. We uncovered that the nuclear protein SATB1 ...

Conjugation is a form of horizontal gene transfer that allows the exchange of genetic material between two organisms or cells. In this article, we discuss the mechanism of conjugation and how ...

This vegetarian recipe is high in protein and fiber, which will help keep you feeling full. It is also low in calories, saturated fat, and sugar. You may freeze any leftover soup in ice cube trays ...

Proteins like sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and sirtuin 4 (SIRT4) have been linked to extended lifespans, and small molecules that activate SIRTs have demonstrated a 70% increase in yeast longevity.
