The newly found genetic clock orchestrates whole bursts of gene activity at fixed moments in development, a timer scientists had long suspected but never pinned d…
A developmental timer that fires thousands of genes in precise, phase-locked bursts has been mapped in detail for the first ...
How did life make the leap from single cells to coordinated, multicellular organisms? And how do genetically identical cells ...
Findings suggest that new genes can form by repurposing fragments of ancestral genes while incorporating entirely new coding regions (the protein-coding parts of the DNA). This innovative concept ...
When a child develops kidney failure or a rare bone disorder, the cause can seem painfully immediate. It may be a single ...
The two main approaches for discovering disease genes reveal distinct aspects of biology, a new study shows. While both methods are widely used, the research found that they identify different genes, ...
Cell function is determined by how DNA is expressed into proteins. That process includes two main steps—transcription, when ...
The study's main contributors include (L-R) graduate student Joshua Shaffer, professor Upasna Sharma, and postdoc Alka Gupta. (Photo by Carolyn Lagattuta) The pioneering research of UC Santa Cruz’s ...
