The team set up conditions so that the only mutant genes to thrive are the ones encoding proteins capable of accomplishing the desired function within the cells including activating a particular receptor or switching on specific genes
Researchers have discovered a way to make artificial cells interact with a wide range of chemicals It might be hard for so many to bake a cake from scratch, and another far-reaching story is constructing an artificial cell-like system from scratch.
Genetic changes that increase the number or activity of the respective gene products are more capable of protecting bacteria from the effect of plasma treatment
The team discovered a clear case in which genes from outside an organism were co-opted by the organism’s genome to modify the strength of a plastic response to environmental cues
A recent discovery from the plant scientists reveals a gene that might be able to widen a nutrient trafficking bottleneck, which has the potential to increase crop yields.
There is a significant interaction between your diet and your genes. Most people have a basic understanding of genetics. The genetics are inherited from your parents and their DNA are combined to create your genetic makeup.
Findings could lead to a new strategy to fight a broad range of cancers After a due study of human colon cancer cells and mice, John Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center researchers and experts confirm that they have successfully blocked the activity of portions of a protein referred to as UHRF1 and restored the function of hundreds of cancer-fighting genes that became misregulated by the disease.

Study's findings challenge understandings of genes as fixed features of our biology A person born into poverty has the possibility to overcome his economic disability.
Around 80,000 people were studied to identify 40 number of genes that are related to intelligence. Using the"g-factor" method, scientists were able to obtain the data they need.
The recent study showed that genetic variation was linked to food preference of an individual. There has been numerous diet invented and available over the internet, however, a recent study advised that the best way to have the perfect diet is to know certain gene variants that can affect a healthy lifestyle.
A group of scientists unveils that cancer is the ultimate result of bad luck and the research study explores that random mutation in the gene causes this fatal disease.
