BUFFALO, N.Y., — Many childhood cancers start with a hijacking at the molecular level. A group of abnormal proteins known as fusion proteins aberrantly engage with a collection of proteins that ...

A research team has developed DeepCodon, a deep learning–based codon optimization tool that significantly improves heterologous protein expression in Escherichia coli while preserving functionally ...

Identifying genes that control protein levels could provide insight into disease development and progression. However, genetic analyses such as genome-wide associated studies identify regions ...

A new study offers new insights into the evolution of foldable proteins. A new study led by Rice University's Peter Wolynes offers new insights into the evolution of foldable proteins. The research ...

Angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, represent the most diverse group of seed plants, and their origin and evolution ...

A new research paper featured as the cover of Volume 17, Issue 12 of Aging-US was published on December 22, 2025, titled "A ...

CRISPR-Cas is used broadly in research and medicine to edit, insert, delete or regulate genes in organisms. TnpB is an ancestor of this well-known "gene scissor" but is much smaller and thus easier to ...

Researchers in a laboratory established to find a treatment for prion diseases are announcing that they have made a step forward in mice. Collaborating with a genome-editing lab, they have developed a ...

Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

Researchers disagree on the number of genes in the human genome, in part because what exactly a gene is can be difficult to determine. At the turn of the century, while awaiting the completion of the ...
