Angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, represent the most diverse group of seed plants, and their origin and evolution ...

Duplications of distal 8p with and without significant clinical phenotypes have been reported and are often associated with an unusual degree of structural complexity. Here, we present a duplication ...

New gene functions are generally acquired through redundancy 1,2,3. This occurs through two mechanisms for the production of new genic isoforms: an increase in transcript diversity 4,5 or the ...

The MECP2 Duplication Syndrome is reversible, say researchers. Importantly their study paves the way for treating duplication patients with an antisense oligonucleotide strategy. The methyl CpG ...

This is the sixth of eight posts on evolutionary research to celebrate Darwin’s bicentennial. Physically, we are incredibly different from our ape cousins but genetically, it’s a different story. We ...
