Genes (基因)are made up of DNA. Genes tell your body how to grow and work. They are passed down from parents to children. Genes control everything in your body. They control things like your eye color and height. Scientists think they might control how well you play sports. This is ca...
DNA (short for deoxyribonucleic acid) is often referred to as the blueprint of the cell. Note that chromosomes, are comprised of DNA, which contains the code for protein synthesis and in turn traits, such like eye color and height.

who wasn't genetically engineered, but is able to buy the genetic identity of another man in order to pursue his dream of travelling into space. The film's title uses the letters G, A, T and C, which are the four chemical codes ma...
Treatments of keratoconus have principally relied on corneal transplantation30 and corneal cross-linking31. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that the progression of KC involves the up-regulation of proinflammatory mediators and the involvement of Toll-like 2/4 receptors, which are ...
Fields such as behavioural and evolutionary ecology are built on the assumption that natural selection leads to organisms that behave as if they are trying to maximise their fitness. However, there is considerable evidence for selfish genetic elements th
are passed into cells using an electrical current. Once inside, they don’t become a permanent part of person’s chromosomes. Instead, they float inside the nucleus. And if a gene is coded into the plasmid, it will start to manufacture proteins. The effect of plasmids is temporary, lasting...
The use of internal control genes or spike-ins is advocated in the literature for scaling read counts, but the methods for choosing reference genes are mostly targeted at RT-qPCR studies and require a set of pre-selected candidate controls or pre-selected target genes. Results Here, we report...
