Malaria is most commonly transmitted through the bites of female Anopheles mosquitoes infected with P. falciparum. The latest world malaria report states that in 2022, there were an estimated 249 ...

DNA transcription is the vital first step needed for switching on our genes. For a gene to be switched on it must be acted upon by an enzyme called RNA polymerase. This is a molecular machine which ...

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), is widely held to be cardioprotective with epidemiological evidence of people who ...

Researchers have uncovered a surprising genetic mechanism that influences the vibrant and complex patterns on butterfly wings. The team discovered that an RNA molecule, rather than a protein as ...

Scientists from The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) have uncovered a genetic link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a rare genetic condition ...

New research uncovering the DNA-damaging mechanism by which a mutated gene causes a rare, fatal disease may have repercussions for the treatment of many other diseases linked to aging, including heart ...

The transgenerational inheritance of epigenctic characters occur in plants. An epigenetic mutant has been found to inherit acquired traits ONLY under certain light conditions. This research will ...

India stressed the need to establish an institutional mechanism as per the relevant national legislation for ensuring full and effective participation of the indigenous people and local communities ...
