RNA viruses mutate and evolve faster than other viruses. Why? All living organisms have both DNA and RNA. A virus has either DNA or RNA but not both. So what does that tell us about viruses? How are viruses used to create certain DNA Libraries?
Summarize how DNA and RNA differ in structure and function. How did DNA repair evolve? Describe the basic process of DNA replication in a cell. How is RNA converted into cDNA? Briefly describe the process of DNA sequencing. How does the structure of DNA differ from that of RNA?
ORFs that are more likely to exist are also more likely to evolve additional protein coding features. To test if this is the case, we compared the translational efficiency of S. cerevisiae asORFs in different frames using ribosome profiling data24. We did not find any significant correlation be...
Evolution is fascinating because it attempts to answer one of the most basic human questions: Where did life, and human beings, come from? The theory of evolution proposes that life and humans arose through a natural process. A very large number of people do not believe this, which is somet...

Credit: CC0 Public Domain What makes one person different from one another, and how did these differences evolve? A study by University at Buffalo biologists is illuminating one aspect of this complicated question. The research examines hot spots of genetic variation within the human genome, exam...
"The first thing we did was to ask whether there was evidence that evolving cooperation is a two-step process," Botero said. "We found that the most likely ancestral birds bred and lived in pairs, so we wondered if birds didn't first evolve the ability to maintain family groups, and on...
To prevent this aneuploidy stress and movement of function away from the Y, faithful achiasmatic mechanisms for XY segregation needs to evolve. In marsupial, a dense plate structure, rich in SC proteins, ensures faithful segregation in the absence of synapsis and recombination during the first ...
How did the nucleus evolve over time? Explain how the CF gene affects the cell membrane? Describe the events that occur during interphase. In what ways, are white cells different from red cells by their structure and function? How do red blood cells obtain their energy to carry out cellular...
How did DNA repair evolve? Discuss one way in which DNA mutations are repaired by the cell. What general mechanism do DNA polymerases use to check the accuracy of DNA replication and identify errors during replication? Describe the action of DNA polymerase and DNA ligase in DNA proofreading and...
