Gene dosage refers to the number of copies of a gene present in an organism’s genome. Dosage compensation ensures gene expression remains at adequate levels in both males and females, despite genetic imbalance caused by different genes. Different organisms have different means of regulating gene expression, such as X inactivation in humans and doubling gene […]
Genetic scientists manipulate genes for the benefit of animals, plants, and humans. They specialize in one area or study genetics more generally, performing experiments in controlled environments to determine how genes are affected by heredity and atmospheric influences. They can uncover important factors that affect inherited traits, fertility levels, and aging rates. A curious and […]
Gene Wilder was an American actor and writer best known for his collaborations with Mel Brooks and Richard Pryor. He became involved in cancer advocacy after losing his mother and second wife to ovarian cancer. Wilder began his career in theater and later transitioned to film, earning critical acclaim for his roles in Bonnie and […]
Gene guns are devices used to introduce genetic material into cells through DNA-coated particles fired at high speed. They are used in labs for research, product development, and tagging samples. Gene guns were introduced in the 1980s and were originally developed for plant cells. They can introduce new DNA to force cells to make new […]
