The use of RNA interference as therapeutic tool
The latest discoveries in the field of RNA interference have revolutionized our knowledge of molecular and cellular biology. They have allowed to advance in therapies to treat serious diseases, like HIV. But this article proves that, at the present time, much is left to...
Intron content influences protein variation
Variation in DNA sequence is the basis of natural selection, and hence a study of the variation patterns in the gene sequences of a species is essential for the understanding of the mechanisms of evolution at molecular level. Introns are DNA sequences that form part of the genes but...
Study on the transoceanic colonization of a Drosophila fly
Drosophila buzzatii is a fruit fly species which arrived to Europe from Argentina 300 years ago. European flies show some genome differences compared to their homologous in South America. UAB scientists have studied the different molecular structure of a mobile...
Antonio Lazcano Araujo
Antonio Lazcano gave a paper on Comparative Genomics and the first stages of cellular evolution: between optimism and desperation in the facilities of the UAB. We interviewed him and shared the views of Lazcano the scientist, the Mexican and the committed humanist on "culture in general and scientific education in...
