Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human ...

Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can ...

Researchers in Göttingen, Germany, have elucidated the structure and function of otoferlin, a protein that plays a crucial ...

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is rapidly evolving to be the primary tool for structure determination of membrane proteins. However, generation of high quality membrane protein for structural ...

Researchers discovered a special type of molecular structure that helps keep genes properly turned off until the structure is ejected from those genes in a regulated manner to help turn the genes on.

The bacterial nucleoid is dynamic in nature and undergoes changes in its local and global structure as a result of DNA replication, DNA recombination and gene expression. Nucleoid-associated proteins ...

Autistic children have variations on genes that help neurons route themselves in the brain of a developing fetus, according to a new set of studies that provide evidence how the autistic mind’s ...

Seven microsatellite loci from 176 female specimens of the oligolectic desert bee, Macrotera portalis, were analyzed to detect population subdivision among eight geographically distinct localities (17 ...
