2010/12/06

December 5, 2010 ─ Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine have made an unexpected finding about the method by which certain genes are activated. Contrary to what researchers have traditionally assumed, genes that work with other genes to build protein structures do not act in a coordinated way but instead are turned on randomly. The study was published in the December 5 online edition of Nature Structural and Molecular Biology.
