What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

In back-to-back studies published in Nature, researchers from Purdue University and Columbia University report a naturally ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...

Genetics is the study of genes and how they influence characteristics and health. Through a variety of technological methods, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices, it is possible to alter some ...

Researchers identify a gene expression program in the living human brain that tracks with real-time neurotransmission, ...

Learn about gene expression studies in progressive supranuclear palsy in Mayo Clinic's Precision Medicine in Neurodegeneration Lab led by Nilufer Ertekin-Taner, M.D., Ph.D.

Researchers discover a protein that connects GLP-1 drugs to long-term, broad genomic responses that can promote pancreatic ...

Study shows GM gene-edited rice is not “substantially equivalent” to the parental non-edited rice. Report: Claire Robinson and Prof Michael Antoniou ...

Single-cell RNA sequencing of endometrial samples across the menstrual cycle identified key cell types and gene signatures that influence embryo implantation.

What if you could flip a genetic switch to silence a gene, then turn it back on with a simple drug? For researchers, gene-switch tools offer that kind of control—and a new system called Cyclone may ...
