What is Activity Sequence-Sensitive? A calculation to determine the cost of activities by considering the order of tasks and time it takes to complete each task. Activity sequence-sensitive (ASS) is a ...

When a gene is switched on, various stretches of DNA nearby act as 'control dials', influencing the level of activity and the amount of gene product that is made. Using Mycoplasma pneumoniae bacteria ...

A new advanced, high-throughput sequencing technique should enable scientists to have a firmer grasp on the activity of naturally occurring microbiomes in response to real-world conditions and diet.

A DNA sequence code critical to our understanding of how human genes are turned on and off has just been unlocked by a team of scientists. Molecular biologists refer to this code as the “human ...
