Morning Overview on MSN
Mice engineered to overproduce Grik4 became visibly anxious and socially withdrawn; restoring the gene’s expression flipped both deficits back
Researchers have shown that mice carrying extra copies of the Grik4 gene developed clear signs of anxiety and social ...

Scientists found a hidden "genetic clock" that acts as the master timekeeper of an animal’s growth, firing off precise bursts of gene activity on schedule
Researchers working with the roundworm C. elegans have identified a feedback loop between two proteins that functions as a ...
A newly discovered genetic clock acts as the master timekeeper for development, orchestrating crucial bursts of gene activity ...
Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...
Cell function is determined by how DNA is expressed into proteins. That process includes two main steps—transcription, when ...
Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...
Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA). This mechanism ...
Fruit-flavoured vapes disrupt gene activity, with potentially harmful consequences, more than other types of the product.
Canadian scientists have made a significant advance in understanding the mechanisms that enable embryos to properly form ...
