With the flurry of media attention surrounding the race to sequence the genome, it often seems as if the myriad genome facts and news items floating around could fill up a couple of telephone books.

Genome and mutations DNA replication is carefully controlled to preserve the genetic information. However, changes in the genome do sometimes occur. These changes are known as mutations.

She has a background in neuroscience and molecular psychiatry ... helping scientists plan and troubleshoot experiments, and of course, genome editing. Nearly five years after joining Sigma, ...

Sometimes, these footprints alter gene expression (i.e., expression of the gene in which they have been left behind) even after their related TE has moved to another location on the genome.

As shown in Table 1 (adapted from Van Straalen & Roelofs, 2006), there is no clear correspondence between genome size and number of protein-coding genes—another indication that the number of ...

Using genome sequencing, they were able to analyze the genetic effects of these structural variations on cell survival. The research, published in Science, shows that as long as essential genes ...
