New study unveils a groundbreaking multi-omic approach revealing how two major gene networks influence human personality traits. These networks, linked by a six-gene hub, play a crucial role in neuronal plasticity and adaptive functioning, shedding light on the genetic underpinnings of personality. #Genetics #PersonalityScience

The first session for the second day of the IMPC Spring Conference, Beyond the Genome, is about to start. Join us to listen to the fascinating research topics that will be presented by our esteemed guests, including transient gene expressions in plants by Prof Anne Grobler. #IMPCConferences24 #BeyondtheGenome #Genetics #Geneexpression

Ever wondered how DNA fits into the tiny space of a cell? 🧬 DNA supercoiling is the answer! It helps DNA pack tightly and influences gene expression. This image shows different levels of supercoiling and how they appear on a gel—more supercoiling means faster migration. Fascinating, right? Dive into the complexity of DNA with us! 🌐 #DNA #Genetics #ScienceFacts #MolecularBiology #Supercoiling #DNAResearch

What is the function of non-coding DNA? Only 1.5% of the genome codes for proteins, leaving the rest as a mystery with potential roles in gene regulation and genome stability. Join the Conversation! Share your thoughts and insights below. #Biotechnology #Science #Mysteries #Genomics

Around 20% of people with cavernoma are thought to have ‘familial cavernoma’. This means there is a genetic cause and a 50:50 chance of passing the gene change responsible on to a child. If you have a single brain cavernoma, a genetic cause is very unlikely to affect you and your immediate relatives (parents, brothers, sisters, and children). If your MRI scan shows that you have more than one brain cavernoma, a genetic cause might run in your family and you could have a genetic test if you want one to find out. O Our information booklet on the ‘Genetics of Brain Cavernomas’ has more information about familial cavernoma. 👉 To download go to https://lnkd.in/eK88nZKz. 👈 #familialcavernoma #genetics #geneticcondition

Join us today (Monday 5/6) at 4PM for an Imageomics Seminar with Dan Chitwood: Shape is data, and all data have shape: from leaf morphology to the shape of gene expression across flowering plants http://imageomics.osu.edu #environmentalscience #genetics

Did you know that a part of our DNA called 'junk DNA' was long thought to have no function but is now understood to play crucial roles in regulating gene activity? This non-coding DNA makes up about 98% of our genome. For many years, this vast portion was dismissed as useless leftovers from our evolutionary past. However, recent advances in genomics have unveiled that these sequences are not idle at all. They are integral to the regulatory networks that control the expression of genes, influencing when, where, and how genes are activated. This 'junk DNA' contains elements like enhancers, silencers, and insulators that help control the complex processes of cellular development and differentiation. The discovery of the functional importance of non-coding DNA has revolutionized our understanding of genetics and disease, highlighting that these sequences play key roles in everything from development to disease susceptibility. #biology #genetics #genes #dna #factasticbybiorus #facttuesday #biorus

Did you know that the colour of your eyes is influenced by more than one gene? While OCA2 and HERC2 play major roles, genomics reveals that several genes contribute to the palette of eye colour. This Vision Research Month, we explore how genetics not only determine the aesthetics of your eyes but also affect how they respond to light. #VisionResearchMonth #Genomics #EyeColour

DNA to RNA to protein: The central dogma of life 🧬 The journey from DNA to RNA to protein is the fundamental process that drives life itself – the central dogma. Understanding which genes are expressed, when they’re turned on, and where they act is key to unlocking the mysteries of gene function and regulation! Enter the world of transcriptomics, where we explore how genetic information flows from DNA to RNA, revealing the blueprint for protein production. 🔬🧩 #CentralDogma #GeneExpression #Transcriptomics #MolecularBiology #Genetics #DNA #RNA #Protein #CellBiology #GeneRegulation #Genomics #LifeSciences #BiomedicalResearch #GeneticResearch #HealthInnovation #OmicsFI #HumanGenome #GeneticResearch
