Protecting the genome from transposon activation
Transposons are foreign DNA elements capable of random insertion into the genome, an event that can be very dangerous for a cell. Their activity must be silenced to maintain genomic integrity, which is primarily achieved by H3K9me3-mediated repressio.....»»

Tracing the history of grape domestication using genome sequencing
A large international team of scientists with various backgrounds has discovered that there were two domestication pathway events for grapes that led to their use in winemaking. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes con.....»»
Activation of peroxymonosulfate and photothermal for removal of phenolic organic pollutants and lignin derivatives
At present, the traditional ways to deal with phenolic organic pollutants and lignin derivatives are mainly physical adsorption and biodegradation. The main disadvantages of these methods are incomplete treatment and long treatment periods. Although.....»»
Guarding the genome: Researchers uncover full 3D structure of p53 protein
The tumor suppressor protein p53, known as "the guardian of the genome," protects the body's DNA from daily stress or long-term damage by triggering the cells to make repairs or to self-destruct. But mutations in the p53 gene that codes for the prote.....»»
