De novo genes are evolution’s magic trick—new genes appearing from non-coding DNA, much like a rabbit pulled from a hat. Once considered impossible, de novo genes have been identified in Drosophila ...
In earlier work, an MIT researcher who was not involved in this study had switched off each gene in that cell line, one at a time, and tracked how losing that gene changed genetic activity. Marson's ...
How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...
CDKL5, one of the five members of the CDKL family of genes, is important for proper neurodevelopment and associated with seizures. However, the role the other four members of this family play in ...
Epigenetic therapies are offering a more targeted way to treat some lymphomas by changing how genes are turned on or off ...
