This study reports an important and novel finding that TENT5A, an enzyme involved in fine-tuning poly(A) tail length on selected mRNAs, is required for proper enamel mineralization in mice. The ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

Retrotransposons are pivotal in human genome evolution, driving structural variation and regulatory innovation while influencing health and disease.

The complex biology of ghrelin, the hunger hormone, has researchers wondering how its absence helps snakes last a long time with no food, if at all.

The researchers deployed a newly developed machine learning system called SIGNET – Statistical Inference on Gene Regulatory ...

It takes two to tango, and two to trigger Parkinson’s. New research identifies the "partners in crime" genes that work together to overwhelm the brain’s waste-management system.

A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the process regulating cell division in bacteria, based on the binding of the MraZ ...

Study identified numerous influential “hub genes” that offer promising new targets for early detection and therapeutic intervention.

Mitochondria possess their own mRNA translation system, mediated by specialized mitoribosomes. Dysregulation of mitochondrial translation disrupts metabolic homeostasis and is linked to various ...

Researchers led by Min Zhang and Dabao Zhang of the University of California, Irvine's Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health have created the most detailed maps to date showing how genes ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms.
