The genetic code acts as life’s instruction manual, telling cells how to build proteins from DNA and RNA. Though it's a marvel of molecular precision, the path it took to evolve remains unclear. Fresh ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

Baylor College of Medicine’s Center for Precision Medicine Models has received a five-year, $10 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to continue its work using precision models to ...

A Michigan State University researcher's new model for studying breast cancer could help scientists better understand why and where cancer metastasizes. Professor Eran Andrechek who teaches in the MSU ...

Researchers discover that while artificial intelligence (AI) tools can make accurate diagnoses from textbook-like descriptions of genetic diseases, the tools are significantly less accurate when ...

An AI model trained on large amounts of genetic data can predict whether bacteria will become antibiotic-resistant. The new study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transmitted between ...

An illustration of the genetic and expression map of the PWS critical region (15q11-q13). This figure illustrates the genomic structure of the PWS critical region on chromosome 15, showing the ...
