The human genome encodes potentially thousands of tiny proteins that were previously overlooked. The search is on to find out ...

Clearly, no simple correlation exists between sequence conservation and ... i For example, to see which of the highly conserved elements overlap exons of protein coding genes, click on the ...

The three-dimensional shape of a protein can be used to resolve deep, ancient evolutionary relationships in the tree of life, according to a study in Nature Communications. It is the first time ...

Proteins fold into complex shapes that determine a cell’s function. These shapes are more conserved over evolutionary time than the sequences themselves, meaning they change more slowly and ...

"In our study, we have now discovered an evolutionarily conserved pathway that ... scaffold attachment factor B (SAFB) ...
