Many people are familiar with histamine, a biological molecule that serves as a key driver of allergic reactions and other ...
For a long time, evolutionary biologists have thought that the genetic mutations that drive the evolution of genes and proteins are largely neutral: they're neither good nor bad, but just ordinary ...
The illustration of protein structure (domains) on the left side, and corresponding exons in the FLT3 gene are displayed on the right side. FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations represent some ...
Molecular profiling enabled targeted treatment that significantly improved survival in advanced cholangiocarcinoma. Learn ...
Mutations in the tumor suppressor TP53 are a common cause of cancer, making the altered protein an attractive target for ...
Our DNA is compacted and arranged into chromosomes, most of which are shaped like X’s. The ends of the chromosomes' arms are protected with caps known as telomeres. Telomeres are made up of highly ...
Scientists have created a new technique that can assess how mutations in the genome influence the packaging of DNA in cells. The genome is massive, and has to be carefully wrapped around proteins so ...
