Study reveals new genes can arise from nothing
Updated : 2 years, 3 months ago IST
Living species' genes encode their complexity, but where do these genes come from? The University of Helsinki researchers answered long-standing questions about the formation of tiny regulatory genes and outlined a method that generates their DNA palindromes. Under the right conditions, thes

Neuroprotective mechanism altered by Alzheimer's disease risk genes: Study
Updated : 4 years, 2 months ago IST
Washington [US], January 4 (ANI): The brain has a natural protective mechanism against Alzheimer's disease, and researchers have discovered that gene variants associated with the risk of developing the disease disturb the protective mechanism in ways that can lead to neurodegeneration.
