Are DNA ancestry tests a reliable way to trace your ancestry? Neil and Beth discuss this and teach you some new vocabulary. Well, my Mum actually did our family tree, and she found a lot of our ...

This paper presents the important discovery that lipid metabolic imbalance caused by Snail, an EMT-related transcription factor, contributes to the acquisition of chemoresistance in cancer cells.

Our genes, sections of DNA that code for different proteins, have a set of switches and levers that tell them how to express themselves, known as epigenetics. As part of this system, there are markers ...

Genetic markers are DNA sequences with known physical locations on chromosomes. They are points of variation that can be used to identify individuals or species, or may be used to associate an ...

This set of changes would therefore match the increased demand for both ATP and metabolites that is required for DNA and protein synthesis in these rapidly proliferating effector T-cells. Taken ...

and the DNA sizes were compared with those of Marker L (50–5,000 bp) (Sangon Biotech, China). Ultraviolet light was used to detect the bands. Original RNA (2 μg) was added to 2U RNase R (GeneSeed, ...

The Vancouver Canucks have been without the services of forward J.T. Miller for the last several games now, as he's taken a personal leave of absence from the team with no date in sight for a ...

It started with a finger bone found in a cave in the Altai mountains in Siberia in the late 2000s. Thanks to advances in DNA analysis, this was all that was required for scientists to be able to ...

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the nucleic acid polymer that forms the genetic code for a cell or virus. Most DNA molecules consist of two polymers (double-stranded) of four nucleotides that each ...

Human genome sequencing methods. (NIH) These overlooked genes have been hiding away in regions of our DNA thought not to code for proteins. These regions were once dismissed as 'junk DNA' but it turns ...

A tiny, four-fingered 'hand' folded from a single piece of DNA can pick up the virus that ... with other viruses or to recognize cell surface markers for targeted drug delivery, such as for ...
