Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and KTH have developed a computational method that can reveal how cells change and ...

The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 amino acids. But certain groups of microbes have an expanded genetic code, in ...

Decades ago, India’s tigers were on the brink of extinction. Slowly, their numbers have rebounded. But that ecological success has prompted a dire problem—and a race to save many of them from genetic ...

DNA sequencing is one of today's most critical scientific fields, powering leaps in humanity's understanding of genetic causes of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. One issue facing the ...

Bengaluru: Paediatricians in the city have documented what is said to be India's first known case of an ultra-rare genetic disorder — Pseudo-TORCH syndrome associated with the USP18 gene — in an ...

A recent paper in the peer-reviewed journal Clinical Dysmorphology has presented the first detailed case report of a new kind of gene mutation in a child, with a rare condition – pseudo-TORCH Syndrome ...

Seedless fruit production, known as parthenocarpy, offers major commercial advantages by improving eating quality, reducing labor costs, and stabilizing yields under poor pollination conditions.

There are few hard and fast rules in the study of life, but perhaps the closest we get is the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA is transcribed to RNA, which gets translated into proteins. The ...

A team of Indian scientists has uncovered a rare mutation in the USP18 gene that appears to drive repeated neurological deterioration in children. This unusual mutation offers important clues about a ...
