2 days ago · The newly synthesized gene normally contains a novel gene expression or molecular function. The result of the neomorphic mutation is the gene where the mutation occurs has a complete change in function. A back mutation or reversion is a point mutation that restores the original sequence and hence the original phenotype.
Jun 24, 2024 · Since a 2003 study found evidence that Genghis Khan’s DNA was present in about 16 million men alive at the time, the Mongolian ruler’s genetic prowess has stood as an unparalleled ...
3 days ago · In biology, the word gene has two meanings. The Mendelian gene is a basic unit of heredity. The molecular gene is a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that is transcribed to produce a functional RNA. There are two types of molecular genes: protein-coding genes and non-coding genes.
Jun 10, 2024 · Biologists use the term to describe the “genetic appearance” of a system that was discovered in microbes – including bacteria and archaea – as early as 1987. For a long time, no one really understood what it did, but around 2005, researchers discovered CRISPR is an immune system.
Jun 10, 2024 · New research indicates that gene therapy might help manage debilitating back pain and repair damaged discs without opioids. Learn more.
Jun 26, 2024 · The discovery of CRISPR-Cas9’s gene-editing prowess revolutionized genetic engineering just over a decade ago. Now it appears that genetic engineering technology may be taking its next big leap ...
4 days ago · Gene therapy is a technique that uses a gene(s) to treat, prevent or cure a disease or medical disorder. Often, gene therapy works by adding new copies of a gene that is broken, or by replacing a defective or missing gene in a patient’s cells with a healthy version of that gene.
