Hovlinc (Genetics 
)
Hovlinc RNA is a self-cleaving ribozyme of about 168 nucleotides found in a very long noncoding RNA in humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas. The word "hovlinc" comes from "hominin vlincRNA-located" RNA. Hovlinc is only a fourth known case of a ribozyme in human. Self-cleavage activity of Hovlinc has been shown in human, chimpanzees and bonobos, but is absent in gorillas...
Navigating the Genetic Lexicon: Understanding Key Terminology in Genetics
#Alleles, #Chromosomes, #DNA, #DominantTraits, #Gene, #GeneticTerminology, #GeneticVariation, #GeneticsTerminology, #Genotype, #HomologousRecombination, #Mutations, #Nucleotides, #Phenotype, #RecessiveTraits #Genetics Genetics is a fascinating field that explores the blueprint of life encoded within our DNA. However, delving into this complex world often feels like deciphering a cryptic language…
For the first time, scientists from the University of Cologne (UoC) have developed artificial #nucleotides, the building blocks of #DNA, with several additional properties in the laboratory. They could be used as artificial nucleic acids for therapeutic applications.

The #genetic alphabet contains just four letters, referring to the four #nucleotides, the #biochemical building blocks that comprise all #DNA. Scientists have long wondered whether it’s possible to add more letters to this alphabet by creating brand-new nucleotides in the lab

How does signaling via extracellular #nucleotides contribute to innate immunity? Systematic #P2Y receptor survey in human #macrophages shows some control #inflammatory #cytokines, others viral replication, and #P2Y11 uniquely combining both roles
