A new study shows that RNA splicing, not just gene expression, holds powerful clues to why some mammals live far longer than ...

The opportunistic pathogen Candida albicans grows in two forms: yeast and filament. The latter state contributes to the severity of infections, and elevated temperature promotes this morphological ...

Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA). This mechanism ...

Working model of the trade-off between plant growth and drought tolerance mediated by OsbHLH59 in rice The intricate process of gene family evolution in higher organisms is achieved through ...

Living organisms have a knack for persisting in the face of challenges. For instance, when genes malfunction, organisms may be able to compensate by activating redundant genes with similar functions, ...
