Some genes are beneficial and enhance longevity. For example, the gene that helps a person metabolize cholesterol would reduce a person's risk of heart disease. Some gene mutations are inherited.

The results of our study provide the first solid evidence that globular clusters formed through multiple star-formation events and place fundamental constraints on the dynamical path followed by ...

Add a description, image, and links to the biosynthetic-gene-clusters topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

clinker was designed primarily as a simple way to visualise groups of homologous biosynthetic gene clusters, which are typically small genomic regions with not many genes (as in the example GIF). It ...

Gene therapy involves the introduction of new genes into cells, to restore or add gene expression, for the purpose of treating disease. Most commonly a mutated gene is replaced with DNA encoding a ...

We report long-read sequencing of the whale shark genome to generate the best gapless chondrichthyan genome assembly yet with higher contig contiguity than all other cartilaginous fish genomes, and ...
