UCLA scientists design masks to hide genetic mutations from cell

...m a cell’s genetic blueprint, enabling its code to dictate protein production by the cell. Using new technology made by Gene Tools of Oregon, the researchers designed a custom mask to camouflage each abnormal splice. The technique prevents the cell from seeing the genetic defects and restores splicing to t...

Researchers publish first marsupial genome sequence

...oteins, as by tweaking the molecular controls that dictate when and where proteins are made. Second, many of the new DNA instructions appear to be derived from transposons, or "jumping genes," which are also located in areas once thought to be junk DNA. "Transposons have a restless lifestyle, of...

Scientists identify prion's infectious secret

...activated. In other words, temperature alone could dictate which yeast species the prion could infect. Additionally, the prion’s behavior could be altered by subtle alterations in the recognition element’s amino acid sequence. While this prion is a laboratory construct not found in nature, these findings...
