A recent paper provides an updated perspective on the evolutionary history of chelicerates—a diverse and ecologically ...

Researchers have been able to identify the genes that cause or increase the risk of Alzheimer’s. One of the genetic causes is “deterministic genes.” If a person inherits one of these gene ...

Background: The Homeobox (HOX) gene family are conserved transcription factors that are essential for embryonic development, oncogenesis, and cancer suppression in biological beings. Abnormally ...

Enrichment analysis of genes proximal of the DMRs revealed significant enrichment for developmental pathways and homeobox (HOX) genes. Subsequent transcriptomic analysis of DMR genes exposed distinct ...

Types 1 and 2 diabetes appear to be caused by an interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Over the years, researchers have found an array of specific genes that are linked to ...

The team came across an interesting mutation in the so-called Hox genes, which are responsible for the categorization of body parts. However, these new findings are actually a by-product of a ...

A research team has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive phenomena such as cancer development, metastasis, tissue differentiation from ...

Researchers have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact fertility in male mice. This research could help us understand why some men don't produce ...

These changes occur rapidly and are significant in magnitude—several hundred genes can change within 10 to 15 minutes. Moreover, these changes appear to persist for at least an hour following ...

The specification of the identity of cranial motor nuclei depends on transcription factors, such as those encoded by Hox and Nkx genes, which are expressed in rostrocaudal or dorsoventral domains ...

Learn more about eLife assessments Here, we use single-cell RNA-Seq to identify the transcriptomes of each of the cells up to the 102-cell stage. We find that homeodomain genes are expressed in ...
