Summary: While humans share over 95% of their genome with chimpanzees, our brains are far more complex due to differences in gene expression. Research shows that human brain cells, particularly glial ...
Researchers measure gene expression by observing the amount of mRNA a specific gene produces. As scientists began to understand the role of the genome as life's blueprint, they thought that ...
Their results, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, highlight the role of gene expression in the evolution and function of the human brain. Interpreting nature's ...
The emergence and evolution of gene expression in genome regions replete with regulatory motifs Timothy Fuqua, Yiqiao Sun, Andreas Wagner Mutagenizing sequences enriched with promoter motifs creates ...
The US biotech has just reported phase 2 trial results with the small, interfering RNA (siRNA) gene-silencing drug showing that it an cause a 90% or greater reduction in Lp(a) levels – a risk ...
