Scientists organize millions of proteins by shape, as predicted by AI, revealing 700,000 new families and some shapes unique ...

Telomeres are repetitive sequences of DNA that can be found at the ends of chromosomes, where they form a kind of protective cap. Telomeres get shorter every time a cell divides, and they are thought ...

There are billions of nucleotides in the human genome, and researchers once thought that there could be as many as 100,000 protein-coding genes encoded within the human genome. One of the main goals ...

On January 11, 2020, the first draft genome of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was posted online by Chinese researchers. Quickly, many of the virus’s genes were quickly determined as it shares a large amount of ...

Researchers from the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center uncovered the potentially important role of the protein-coding gene, MYO10, in tumor development and immune therapy response. Their findings were ...

The human genome may contain more protein-coding genes than prior analyses suggested. A study published last month (May 29) on BioRxiv provides an expanded database of approximately 5,000 novel ...

Deep sequencing has revealed thousands of eukaryotic protein-coding genes that defy the central dogma, producing circular noncoding RNAs rather than linear messenger RNAs. For some genes, the ...

Researchers disagree on the number of genes in the human genome, in part because what exactly a gene is can be difficult to determine. At the turn of the century, while awaiting the completion of the ...
