The 4x rule: Why some people’s DNA is more unstable than others A large scale genetic analysis of more than 900,000 people has revealed that specific regions of DNA become increasingly unstable over time. These regions are made up of very short sequences that repeat again and again, and the study shows that they tend to grow longer as people age. Researchers also found that common inherited […] Written by Admin January 10, 2026January 10, 2026 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Mitochondrial presequences harbor variable strengths to maintain organellar function Hundreds of mitochondrial proteins rely on N-terminal presequences for organellar targeting and import. While generally described as positively charged amphiphilic helices, presequences lack a consensus motif and thus likely promote protein import into mitochondria with variable efficiencies. Indeed, the concept of presequence strength underlies biological models such as stress sensing, yet a quantitative analysis of […] Written by Admin January 9, 2026January 9, 2026 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
