When cells divide and chromosomes are replicated for the daughter cells in a select type of cell called the germline, which is happening constantly in living things, sometimes things don’t go ...

Gene duplication events in European eels have restored cell membrane permeability for urea and boric acid through mutated aquaporin genes. “The aromatic/arginine (ar/R) selectivity filter is a narrow ...

Background Chromosome 19 is the most gene-dense chromosome in the human genome, with a high frequency of segmental ...

A team led by University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health geneticists has shown, for the first time, that a gene "silencer" that resides in junk DNA is directly sparing people from a devastating ...

The GRAS gene family comprises plant‐specific transcription factors that are integral to a broad range of biological processes, from regulating developmental programmes and hormonal signalling to ...
