Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

For decades, synthetic biologists have been developing gene circuits that can be transferred into cells for applications such ...

You’ve probably referred to them negatively – blaming them for your weight, bad habits or thinning hair. But while you can’t ...

This is a sponsored article brought to you by MBZUAI. If you’ve ever tried to guess how a cell will change shape after a drug ...

A combination of genetic tests for a "very complex" blood cancer could accurately predict if the disease is likely to return ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

Two new research papers from the Living Brain Project at Mount Sinai present what is, by several metrics, the largest ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Biotechnology, researchers describe the pA regulator system based on a ribonucleic acid (RNA)-based switch to regulate mammalian gene expression by ...

Newly discovered diversity in the wheat genome could offer new opportunities to improve and ‘climate-proof’ one of the world’s most important staple crops.

Wheat has a very large and complex genome. Researchers have found that different varieties can use their genes in different ways. By studying RNA—the molecules that carry out instructions from ...
