Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like propionate and butyrate are critical byproducts of dietary fiber digestion. These ...

This discovery laid the foundation for understanding the structure and function of genes. Within a gene, there are coding regions called exons, which contain the information for protein synthesis, and ...

Researchers hope the AI tool will aid in the development of cell-specific gene therapies to treat diseases such as cancer.

In fact, each gene in cellular DNA contains the code for a unique protein structure. Not only are these proteins assembled with different amino acid sequences, but they also are held together by ...

Multiply our experiment across several species and many genes, and the importance of understanding the relationships between genes, structure, and function becomes readily apparent.

A recent discovery has unlocked the genetic secrets behind butterhead lettuce’s signature compact structure, a development ...

Each gene tells a cell to make a specific molecule ... such as insulating the wires, supporting the structure and clearing out debris. Until recently, scientists could only study bulk tissue ...

providing structure, organization and folding of DNA, but this paper is the first to demonstrate that a linker histone is also directly regulating gene expression as a transcription factor.
