Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Biology have discovered a remarkably streamlined strategy for developmental ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

This breakthrough allows researchers to visualize where individual genes are active at the cellular level—information that has long been missing due to technical limitations in tea biology. By ...

The two main approaches for discovering disease genes reveal distinct aspects of biology, a new study shows. While both methods are widely used, the research found that they identify different genes, ...

Humans have become very good at altering the basic building blocks of life to their advantage. Genetically modified foods are available at most grocery stores. Researchers use gene-editing tools every ...

Engineers at MIT have developed a new system that allows precise control of synthetic gene expression within cells. The innovation could improve the consistency and customization of gene therapy ...

BUENOS AIRES - They look like ordinary foals, docile with honey brown coats and white facial patches, content to spend their days munching alfalfa in a cordoned-off pasture in rural Buenos Aires ...

New research has filled in missing links between gene variants that have been implicated in disease through genome-wide association studies and how the variants drive disease pathology. The research ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of RNA molecule that do not carry instructions to make proteins. Instead, they influence how other genes are expressed. There are tens of thousands of lncRNAs ...

Precision Treatment of Patients With GI Cancer Using Pre-emptive DPYD Genotyping/Phenotyping Plus Pharmacokinetic-Guided Dosing of 5-Fluorouracil Primary PCa biopsy samples underwent ...
