Researchers give more insight into how new genes arise from nothing
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
The DNA of living species encode their complexity, but where do these genes come from? The University of Helsinki researchers answered long-standing problems about the development of small regulatory genes and described a way for generating their DNA palindromes. Under the correct conditions

Study gives more insight into head, neck cancer patients resistance to che
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
Two new genes have been discovered by Queen Mary University of London researchers that render people with head and neck cancer resistant to chemotherapy. Cancer cells that were previously resistant to chemotherapy can now respond to it by silencing one of these genes.

Study explains why older fathers pass on more genetic mutations to their o
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
The male reproductive system serves as a hotspot for the emergence of new genes. Perhaps that explains why more new mutations are inherited from fathers than from mothers. It doesn't, however, clarify why older fathers pass on more mutations than younger ones do. The mechanisms that might un

Scientists study 155 new genes to see how humans continue to evolve
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
Nearly 7 million years ago, modern humans diverged from our chimpanzee ancestors, yet we have since continued to evolve. Within the human lineage, 155 novel genes that spontaneously developed from little fragments of our DNA have been discovered. A handful of these "microgenes" are projected

Study finds how humans continue to evolve with new genes
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Even though we diverged from our chimpanzee ancestors about 7 million years ago, we are still evolving today. The human lineage has 155 novel genes that spontaneously developed from little fragments of our DNA. Some of these novel "microgenes" are thought to be linked to diseases that are un
