The correct functioning of cells relies heavily on the ability to finely control gene expression, a complex process by which ...

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are actively expressed at any given time in a cell determines what type of cell it ...

Researchers have uncovered a previously hidden layer of complexity in how genes are activated, showing that water molecules ...

If all the DNA in a human cell was stretched out end to end, it would be roughly six feet long. That’s a lot of genetic information to pack into a cell that is, on average, one-fifth the size of a ...

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 ...
