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 ...

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

Researchers at the Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Yale University, have used artificial intelligence (AI) to design thousands of new DNA switches that can ...

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

A recent study marks the first reported instance of generative AI designing synthetic molecules that can successfully control gene expression in healthy mammalian cells. As a proof-of-concept, the ...

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 ...

Traditionally, cancer diagnosis and prognosis rely heavily on histopathological examination, where tissue morphology is evaluated under the microscope. However, the molecular ...

Whether you turn red when drinking alcohol, dislike certain smells, or metabolize drugs differently from others, the explanation often lies in your DNA, or more precisely, your gene types. Subscribe ...
