A team of scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Columbia University has demonstrated a way to produce large quantities of the receptor that SARS-CoV-2, ...

New research suggests that alternative splicing may have an even greater influence on biology than just by creating new protein isoforms. The study shows that the biggest impact of alternative ...

Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in ...

A mutant gene that produces proteins in sweat may raise some people's risk of Lyme disease, while the standard version of the gene may protect against infection. When you purchase through links on our ...

Researchers find mutations of the Foxp2 gene disrupt the formation of synapses in the brain's striatum, which plays important roles in the control of movement, in mice. A new study sheds light on how ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is known for enabling deeper insights into drug development, identifying patterns and molecules that may otherwise go unnoticed. Now it is poised to make similar ...

The authors of the study pictured in the facilities housing MareNostrum5, the supercomputer which was critical for processing the vast amounts of data generated by the study. Human gene maps contain ...
