Nobel Prize for Medicine awarded to US scientists Victor Ambros, Gary Ruvk
Updated : 1 year, 7 months ago IST
If gene regulation goes awry, it can lead to serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes, or autoimmunity. Understanding the regulation of gene activity has been an important goal for many decades, the Nobel committee said.

First line of defence against deadly ToCSV tomato virus explored
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
For the first time, scientists at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) have examined the molecular genetics of tomato plants' defence mechanisms against a destructive "young" Southern African virus. The well-known tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is known to be resistant to individuals

Schizophrenia genetic risk factor weakens mitochondrial function: Study
Updated : 7 months, 3 weeks ago IST
Researchers have investigated overlapping patterns of altered gene activity in two separate models of the 3q29 deletion syndrome, including human brain organoids and mice with the deletion produced via CRIPSR. Mitochondrial activity has declined in each of these systems.

New embryonic cell type that self-destructs to protect developing embryo:
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Researchers looking at early human embryo gene activity data have uncovered a previously unknown type of cell that self-destructs days after formation as a quality control measure to safeguard the growing baby. The research provides new information on what occurs in the very early stages of

Scientists come up with new method to locate gene activity and proteins ac
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
A new method can illuminate the identities and activities of cells throughout an organ or a tumour at unprecedented resolution, according to a study co-led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian and the New York Genome Center.

Research reveals new method for tracking gene activity across tissues
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
The method, described in the study published journal 'Nature Biotechnology,' records gene activity patterns and the presence of key proteins in cells across tissue samples while retaining information about the cells' precise location. This allows for the creation of complex, data-rich "maps"
