Each gene within that cell has a coding region. This region encodes the information used to make a particular protein, such as the hemoglobin in the red blood cells seen here. (Hemoglobin shuttles ...

Genes encode proteins and proteins dictate ... The remaining regions of the transcript, which include the protein-coding regions, are called exons, and they are spliced together to produce the ...

How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins ... the start codon (AUG) of the coding region, and it does not affect the sequence of amino acids in a protein (Figure 3).

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules may be best known for their job ferrying the genetic information encoded in DNA to a cell's ...

Each gene has a regulatory region that contains instructions on when and where the gene is expressed. This information is written in a code that is ... to predict protein structures in the future.

The findings were published online by the American Journal of Human Genetics in a paper titled "Characterization of non-coding ... "open" regions of the genome, and PRINT, a deep-learning-based method ...

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages ... The enzyme RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA in a non-coding region just before the gene. RNA polymerase moves along the DNA strand.

A gene known as HbS was the center of a medical and evolutionary detective story that began in the middle 1940s in Africa. Doctors noticed that patients who had sickle cell anemia, a serious ...
