...nt to PA-824. The researchers sequenced the entire genome of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis to find the mutations in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis leading to loss of two proteins FGD1 and F420 or changes in these proteins which is responsible to the resistance of the bacterium to the drug PA-824....

Genetic mystery behind muscle development unraveled.

... microRNAs were initially discovered (1993) in the genome of the worms. The genes have been fully studied and worked on by researchers to completely understand the functioning of these genes. It was then understood that they play a very important role as gene regulators in both multicellular organisms and h...
