Cracking the brain's genetic code.
In PNAS, Fjell et al. (1) reveal a remarkable connection between genetics and neuroscience—a new discovery that reveals how genes shape our path through life. Their article draws thought-provoking links between modern genetics and how our brains develop, and even how we age: They find unsuspected patterns in how our genetic code drives childhood development; these patterns may even explain why ...
متن کاملAn Alternative Cracking of The Genetic Code
We propose 22 ‘unique’ solutions to the Genetic code: an alternative cracking, from the perspective of a Mathematician. INTRODUCTION The Genetic code is now known to consist of triplet bases specifying for an amino acid (1). But before any biochemical appreciation of the genetic code, a page copy of DNA of any kind ordinarily looks like a cryptographic code – a discrete set of symbols produced ...
متن کاملEpigenetics: The Second Genetic Code
Plant breeders utilize directed selection and transgenics to produce novel cultivars of diploid and polyploid species. DNA sequence is clearly important in these processes, but growing evidence implicates epigenetics as an important factor in controlling genetic variation and gene/transgene expression. In this article, we focus on epigenetic variation defined as mitotically and meiotically heri...
متن کاملCracking the Polyketide Code
PLoS Biology | http://biology.plosjournals.org For half a century, natural products from microorganisms have been the main source of medicines for treating infectious disease. The most important chemical class of these antibiotics, apart from the penicillins, is the polyketides. They are made by the stepwise building of long carbon chains, two atoms at a time, by multifunctional enzymes that de...
متن کاملCracking the bioelectric code
Patterns of resting potential in non-excitable cells of living tissue are now known to be instructive signals for pattern formation during embryogenesis, regeneration and cancer suppression. The development of molecular-level techniques for tracking ion flows and functionally manipulating the activity of ion channels and pumps has begun to reveal the mechanisms by which voltage gradients regula...
