DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene ...

This study reveals that enhancing the activity of a conserved “housekeeping” gene can significantly elevate fruit nutritional and sensory traits. By increasing the expression of a tRNA-associated gene ...

Researchers developed e2MPRA, a high-throughput technique that simultaneously measures cis-regulatory element activity and ...

You can curl, flip, bend, and even shape it into a wiggly form. Your tongue can act like a gymnast, even if your parents can't pull off the same stunts. Each ...

A groundbreaking Alzheimer's study has developed a unique genetic map, revealing crucial insights into gene activity and potential disease-driving sequences in the brain.

Epigenome editing has undergone something of a renaissance in recent years, but scientists have been using basic gene-modulation tools for much longer. Two of the earliest were transcriptional ...
