The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to ...

As we age, we don't recover from injury or illness like we did when we were young. But new research from UCSF has found gene ...

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

What if you could flip a genetic switch to silence a gene, then turn it back on with a simple drug? For researchers, gene-switch tools offer that kind of control—and a new system called Cyclone may ...

Since the publication of the Human Genome Project, researchers have expanded the field of genomics to probe deeper into the underpinnings of human biology and disease, including studies of the body’s ...

A research team has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive phenomena such as cancer development, metastasis, tissue differentiation from stem ...

PCR-based techniques have transformed how scientists analyze transcripts’ translational applications in cancer and neuroscience research.
