The human genome encodes potentially thousands of tiny proteins that were previously overlooked. The search is on to find out ...

EZH1 is a key regulator of circadian rhythms, stabilizing gene transcription and modifying chromatin to maintain genetic ...

Large-scale protein and gene profiling have massively expanded the landscape of cancer-associated proteins and gene mutations, but it has been difficult to discern whether they play an active role ...

A recent study has uncovered how specific genetic mutations in α2δ-1 and α2δ-3 proteins linked to autism spectrum disorders ...

EZH1 steadies gene-reading machinery and adjusts DNA packaging, ensuring genes activate on time to maintain 24-hour rhythms.

In living organisms, protein molecules with different chemical structures called proteoforms, are produced from a single gene ...

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

New research uncovers how declining protein clearance mechanisms with age lead to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other ...

Zika virus hijacks the skin of its human host to send out chemical signals that lure more mosquitoes to infect and spread the ...

In mice, this protein was able to restore the heart by activating dormant repair genes without causing side effects, such as heart enlargement. This study marks an important step toward ...

C-terminal amidation is a PTM that involves the addition of an amid group to the C-terminus of a peptide or protein. Currently there is no direct evidence to suggest that C-terminal amidation of ...

One of the most significant updates to the genome maps includes the addition of more than 1,100 new protein-coding genes that were previously unidentified. These newly mapped genes offer insights ...
