Life begins with a quiet but precise choreography inside the nucleus. For decades, scientists believed that a newly ...

A new mouse study links aging in the brain with a loss in controlling gene expression. . | Credit: nopparit/ Aging may "erase ...

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

Despite spanning about three billion base pairs, the human genome is wrapped up tight in a highly organized fashion in the nucleus. This coordinated structure, in part, enables the cell to regulate ...

Emerging antiviral defense systems are expanding the conceptual and practical boundaries of genome editing. Across bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes, hosts ...

The field of regulatory genomics has evolved rapidly, with increasing complexity in understanding how genes are regulated within the three-dimensional ...

Scientists reveal a hidden second layer of human DNA, showing how genome folding controls genes and influences disease development.

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 ...

Livestock breeders could soon have more tools to improve the health and quality of their animals, thanks to a recent study ...
