Computational prediction of gene structure is crucial for interpreting genomic sequences. But how do the algorithms involved work and how accurate are they? Expression-based systems that use only ...

Each gene tells a cell to make a specific molecule ... such as insulating the wires, supporting the structure and clearing out debris. Until recently, scientists could only study bulk tissue ...

Nobori targeted Arabidopsis’ root tip, a critical structure for investigating growth, nutrient acquisition, and interactions with soil microbes. First, he fixed whole-mount root tip tissue, which ...

"Gene loss is a widespread mechanism throughout ... The study also identifies differences in the structure of the FGF genes of O. dioica from different parts of the world, providing the first ...

Researchers from the NIHR Moorfields Biomedical Research Centre and University College London have found that gene therapy improved visual acuity and preserved retinal structure in young children ...

The physical structure of corn plants - including the angle of leaves bending from the stem and the number of pollen-laden tassel branches - makes a ...

Transposons, also known as jumping genes or mobile genetic elements as they can replicate and reinsert themselves in the genome, threaten the cell's genome integrity by triggering DNA rearrangements ...
