Proteome-expressing gene research shows reactive mode of communication housed in DNA

This month, Professor Franklin Pugh, Molecular Biology and Genetics, and researchers Chitvan Mittal grad, Olivia Lang grad and William KM Lai grad, discovered that inducible systems work in conjunction with constitutive systems to produce variable outputs in function of the “on” or “off” state of certain cofactors – this highlights new understandings of how the …

Comparative Timeline: The Life of Kathleen Folbigg and Advances in Genetic Research

Leave a Comment / Genetics / By admin

New South Wales will conduct a second inquiry into Kathleen Folbigg’s convictions. At the center of this new investigation is new data on the protein calmodulin – specifically one of its coding genes, CALM2 – and a mutated form of the gene known as G114R, which can cause heart arrhythmias in young children. In this …

How cancer cells can become immortal – new research finds mutated gene that helps melanoma overcome normal limits of repeated replication

Leave a Comment / Genetics / By admin

A defining characteristic of cancer cells is their immortality. Usually normal cells are limited in the number of times they can divide before they stop growing. Cancer cells, however, can overcome this limitation to form tumors and circumvent “death” by continuing to replicate. Telomeres play a vital role in determining the number of times a …
