The types and levels of circulating biomarkers of metabolism can provide an important read-out of physiological and disease processes in many organs. The goal of this research project was to ...

Genetic variation in mitochondrial genes could underlie metabolic adaptations because mitochondrially encoded proteins are directly involved in a pathway supplying energy to metabolism. Macquarie ...

Genetic networks have been identified in human cells, say researchers, noting that the study has also found potential targets for cancer therapy. Cancer is a heterogeneous disease, with myriad ...

Two-faced codon rewrites genetics? The genetics of a marine protozoan may overturn one of the long-held tenets of protein synthesis. According to conventional wisdom, the genetic code is unambiguous: ...

On May 27, 1961, Heinrich Matthaei, a postdoc working with NIH scientist Marshal Nirenberg, placed synthetic polyuracil RNA into 20 test tubes to see what it would produce. Each tube contained ...
