Genomic regulatory map of the zebrafish
Zebrafish and humans look very different on the outside. Yet about 70 percent of their genes are similar to human genes—including many that can trigger diseases. That makes the animal a popular model organism. Many observations of biological proces.....»»
Role of Data Scientists and Analysts Increases in Gene Mutation(Genetics)
With the advancement in DNA sequencing technology, you can utilize genomic data for diagnostic purposes. Data Science has helped geneticists to collect millions of DNA samples and discover various genetic variants. It has spread its feathers in almos.....»»
Scientists identify DNA "hotspots" that tell zebrafish to change sex in warmer waters
Higher water temperatures induce specific chemical tags at targeted locations on the DNA of embryonic zebrafish. These "epigenetic" changes can then reroute genetic pathways, so that the embryos change sex. This finding, in Frontiers in Cell and Deve.....»»
Human eggs remain healthy for decades by putting "batteries on standby mode"
Immature human egg cells skip a fundamental metabolic reaction thought to be essential for generating energy, according to the findings of a study by researchers at the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) published today in the journal Nature......»»
