The human genome contains around 20,000 genes that hold instructions for making working proteins, as most genetic databases ...

Biologists have long puzzled over why organisms with similar numbers of protein-coding genes can differ so dramatically in ...

Improved analysis adds several microproteins to the human proteome, and suggests a path toward identifying thousands more ...

The human genome may contain more protein-coding genes than prior analyses suggested. A study published last month (May 29) on BioRxiv provides an expanded database of approximately 5,000 novel ...

Deep sequencing has revealed thousands of eukaryotic protein-coding genes that defy the central dogma, producing circular noncoding RNAs rather than linear messenger RNAs. For some genes, the ...

On Wednesday, the Nobel Committee announced that it had awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to researchers who pioneered major breakthroughs in computational chemistry. These include two researchers ...
