The massive and highly complex sets of data, called the “Big Data revolution,” has allowed for more research into genetics and other population studies. To manage data effectively, scientists …Retrotransposons Are Necessary for Cell Targeting and Circulatory DNA Incorporation
Organisms benefit from gene transfer between cells, both physiologically and pathologically. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) creates more significant alterations in the genome evolution of prokaryotes than the branching trajectory. …Enzyme and Proteins Work Together to Maintain the Telomeres, at the End of Chromosomes
Many of the complexities of DNA replication remains unknown. These include how countless biomolecules reach their locations and interact across several highly coordinated steps. Mammalian DNA polymerase-alpha/primase (pol-/primase) is …Men Are Going Extinct as They Are the Weaker Sex According to Duke University Researchers
It is scientifically proven that men are “the weaker sex”! Duke University researchers have published a study that shows that over the past 250 years, women have been more …Hemophilia B Treatment Now Has a Lot of Potential Thanks to Novel Liver-Directed AAV Gene Therapy
Hemophilia B is an X-linked inherited bleeding illness. It results from gene changes that code for the protein coagulation factor IX (F9). These gene changes result in less protein …
