Understanding how DNA is selectively tagged with ‘do not use’ marks
Not all of your genome needs to be active at any given time. Some regions are prone to hopping around […]
If there is one thing all cancers have in common, it is they have nothing in common. A multi-center study […] You’ve heard of “nature versus nurture,” and philosophers argue about which is more important. But how does this work on […] A Danish-German research team has shown that not only the where and when of long non-coding RNA expression is important […] Genetics is a crapshoot. During sexual reproduction, genes from both the mother and the father mix and mingle to produce […] Hematopoietic stem cells, that form mature blood cells, require a very precise amount of protein to function — and defective […] Human airways already demonstrate gender-based differences in DNA methylation signatures at birth, providing an early hint of which infants may […] A multinational South American team from Peru, Brasil and Bolivia led by the Universidad de San Martin de Porres at […]Human Biology
