UMD researchers have discovered key mechanisms in gene regulation that could improve the design of RNA-based medicines.

This is an important study examining the role of conserved PCH-2 protein at different stages of C. elegans meiosis ... DNA recombination, and chromosome segregation. Meiotic crossover recombination is ...

The research team also discovered a gene called sdg-1 that helps regulate 'jumping genes'- DNA sequences that tend to move or copy themselves to different locations on a chromosome. While jumping ...

New research challenges previous assumptions about RNA transport, finding that RNA can carry instructions across generations.

Their work provides such an opportunity because in C. elegans meiotically expressed HORMADs localize to meiotic chromosomes independently of PCH-2. Work in C. elegans also allows the authors to focus ...

A study of nematodes by researchers at Nagoya University in Japan has found that aging-related decline in brain function is caused by the excessive activation of certain neurons over time, rather than ...
