The first steps following gene discovery have become somewhat routine: completing sequencing of the gene, matching the sequence to a known protein pattern (if possible), deciphering gene expression ...

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA).

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed a vector that integrates the Cre enzyme gene with the specific DNA ...

What do gene networks tell us about ... Following completion of this step, they examined the known functions of the genes within the co-expression network to determine whether these genes were ...
