Malaria continues to be one of the most lethal illnesses globally Credit: istockMalaria continues to be one of the most lethal illnesses globally. Each year, malaria infections claim the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals, with children under the age of five primarily affected. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention...
Credit: Scitech DailyMolecular biologists and bioinformatics scientists working at One DirectionThe focus of the study was on a type of enzyme famed as tRNA nucleotidyltransferases, that links three building blocks of nucleotides in the C-C-A sequence to small RNAs named transfer RNAs. To supply amino acids for proteins inside the cells. Directed by Professors...
A genome study carried out by Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists to search for variants in a gene thought about an essential building block for microscopic structures that manufacture proteins took a shocking twist.Human ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes are essential for constructing ribosomes or mechanisms that translate proteins. The study findings, to be...
Scientists from IDC Herzliya and Bar-Ilan University established a unique software device to evaluate possible CRISPR-induced errors.CRISPR modern technology enables researchers to edit genomes by modifying DNA series and hence changing gene features. Its many possible applications include fixing genetic defects, dealing with and preventing the spread of conditions, and bettering plants.Genome editing tools,...
Bacterial “miners” shown in relief working to process soil nutrients, some more efficiently than others. Bradyrhizobium, one of the three top nutrient processors identified in the study, is shown here consolidating its control of carbon from a glucose addition, processing the nutrients with industrial efficiency (in the form of a bucket wheel excavator). Credit:...
The continuing development of new SARS-CoV-2 mutations allows the virus to spread more effectively and also avert antibodies. However, it is unclear whether brand-new strains can escape T-cell immunity - one of the body's main lines of protection against COVID-19.The development of a T-cell immune reaction is significantly governed by genetic factors, consisting of...
Research by Gustavo Caetano-Anollés and Fayez Aziz, University of Illinois, reveals a “big bang” during evolution of protein subunits known as domains. The team looked for protein relationships and domain recruitment into proteins over 3.8 billion years across all taxonomic units. Their results could have implications for vaccine development and disease management. Credit: Fred...
