Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have developed a new method to discover how DNA controls genes. Their technique, ...

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 ...

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are ...

Researchers reveal epigenetic memory works like a dimmer switch, enabling more cell types than previously recognized.

A newly discovered code within DNA -- coined 'spatial grammar' -- holds a key to understanding how gene activity is encoded in the human genome. This breakthrough finding revealed a long-postulated ...

A new international study suggests that ancient viral DNA embedded in our genome, which were long dismissed as genetic "junk", may actually play powerful roles in regulating gene expression. Focusing ...

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

Epigenetics is a rapidly growing field of study that focuses on the heritable changes in gene expression that occur without alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes are caused by ...

This study reveals how gene expression patterns uncover molecular pathways linking comorbidities, enhancing treatment ...

In the early 1980s, David Gilmour, now an emeritus biochemistry and molecular biology professor at Pennsylvania State University, joined the laboratory of geneticist and biochemist John Lis as a ...
