You know the maxim, “Give a man to fish and he eats for a day; teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime”? A similar adage applies to anyone who spends a lot of time working with text on their ...

Now scientists are finally getting a peek at transcriptional blueprints, starting with the spatial gene expression patterns for Drosophila melanogaster. The scientists, based at the Max Delbrück ...

Java’s character and assorted string classes offer low-level support for pattern matching, but that support typically leads to complex code. For simpler and more efficient coding, Java offers the ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase (ACS) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the ethylene biosynthetic pathway in plants. The Arabidopsis genome encodes nine ACS polypeptides that form eight ...

The expression of ACE2 is upregulated in smokers, but not affected by sex and age. Amino acids that form polar contacts between ACE2 and RBD are essential for binding. Variants may change binding ...
