Researchers at USC have developed a yeast model to study a gene mutation that disrupts the duplication of DNA, causing massive damage to a cell's chromosomes, while somehow allowing the cell to ...

Gene duplication events in European eels have restored cell membrane permeability for urea and boric acid through mutated aquaporin genes. “The aromatic/arginine (ar/R) selectivity filter is a narrow ...

Bottom line: A new mutation was identified in 9 percent of relapsed cases of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that may define a new subtype of the disease. While the researchers identified the ...

Common ancestor eels lost the aquaporin gene encoding proteins with broad solute permeability. Researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo have now found that recent gene duplication events in the ...
