BUFFALO, N.Y., — Many childhood cancers start with a hijacking at the molecular level. A group of abnormal proteins known as fusion proteins aberrantly engage with a collection of proteins that ...

Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in ...

Identifying genes that control protein levels could provide insight into disease development and progression. However, genetic analyses such as genome-wide associated studies identify regions ...

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 in ...

A new study offers new insights into the evolution of foldable proteins. A new study led by Rice University's Peter Wolynes offers new insights into the evolution of foldable proteins. The research ...

Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

Angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, represent the most diverse group of seed plants, and their origin and evolution ...

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 ...

Researchers uncover how the fruitless gene steers brain development and social feeding behavior in male honeybees.
