The basic pattern of genomic DNA methylation is established at the time of embryo implantation through a wave of de novo methylation, but CpG islands are protected through a mechanism that ...

Scientists have discovered that horses owe their legendary stamina to a unique genetic mutation. This mutation supercharges ...

The KorB protein (green) is trapped by its partner protein KorA (pink) on plasmid DNA (cyan). This prevents RNA polymerase (grey) from binding DNA and ultimately results in gene repression ...

Researchers have revealed a secret behind horses' exceptional endurance – a mutation in the KEAP1 gene that boosts energy production while protecting against cellular oxidative stress. The findings – ...
