gene

These modified mice produced a slightly altered version of a liver protein that affects hundreds of genes involved in fat metabolism.

One important group of RNA molecules, known as non-coding RNAs, regulates gene activity without making proteins.

Rajasethupathy suggests that, by understanding the gene programs that preserve memory, scientists may be able to redirect memory pathways around damaged brain regions in conditions such as Alzheimer's.

These lingering wolf genes appear to have influenced characteristics such as body size, scent abilities, and aspects of behavior.

According to the charity, an estimated 47 babies were born with the condition in the UK in 2024, though about 1 in 40 people carry the altered gene that can cause the disease.
