Fitness effects of horizontal gene transfer Bacteria living in multispecies communities can benefit from a gene pool shared through horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Because alleles, genes, and even operons can be acquired…
Deciphering tumor heterogeneity from a multiomics perspective: the case of liver cancer Tumor heterogeneity manifests at multiple levels—between patients, across tumors within the same patient, and among individual cells…
Genes provide the blueprint for life, determining when and where proteins are made. This process involves two key steps: transcription, from DNA to messenger mRNA (mRNA), and translation, where mRNA is decoded into proteins.…
