Northwestern University research has provided direct experimental evidence that gut microbes influence brain function and ...

Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act ...

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 ...

PCR-based techniques have transformed how scientists analyze transcripts’ translational applications in cancer and ...

A new computational approach has uncovered possible drugs for specific cellular targets in glioblastoma, enabling the prediction of personalized treatment combinations.

UKRI Innovate UK and NRC IRAP provide funding and advisory support, fostering UK-Canada collaboration in genetic medicine ...

The researchers used a genetic tool called CRISPRi that can mute DNA sections without permanently cutting them. The tool was ...

Researchers are investigating the role of non-coding DNA, or junk DNA, in regulating astrocytes, brain cells involved in ...

However, in any particular cell, only a very small fraction of these genes are ever expressed. Each cell is specialised to carry out a certain task and will only need to express certain genes. Gene ...
