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 ...

Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA). This mechanism ...

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

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 ...

A multi-omics study identifies causal genes and biological subtypes of long COVID, revealing new therapeutic targets for ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine’s Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center and Human Genome Sequencing Center investigated the extent to which forms of genetic variation called germline or ...

SMRTS, a smart mRNA system, enables cell‑selective gene expression, expanding the mRNA toolbox for precision cancer therapies.

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Genetics is just one of several factors thought to influence personality disorder development. Life experiences, family dynamics, coping mechanisms, and social learning may all be contributing factors ...
