Genes encode proteins and proteins dictate cell function. Therefore, the thousands of genes expressed in a particular cell determine what that cell can do. Moreover, each step in the flow of ...

Scientists announced the Biodiversity Cell Atlas project to map every cell type across all eukaryotic life on Earth.

Proteins carry out many of the essential function of cells, and scientists have spent years learning about the expression of protein-coding genes. When genes are active, they are transcribed as ...

Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is ...

MADS-box genes, critical regulatory elements in eukaryotes, have undergone extensive diversification in green plants. Although MADS-box genes have been extensively studied, the understanding of their ...

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

Gene expression leading to alterations in the DNA caused by asbestos exposure may explain the development of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM), a rare and aggressive cancer. By analyzing public RNA ...

An ambitious and revolutionary initiative aims to map every cell of all eukaryotic life on Earth. The result will be a ...
