This new tool, known as minimal, versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT), combines the powers of gene editing, ...

Humans are now known to have between 20,000 and 25,000 genes, but researchers still have much to learn about these small ...

New research suggests that brain ageing might be influenced by genetic factors passed down from your mother, raising ...

On Friday, the court will hear additional arguments from both the prosecution and defense regarding the use of DNA evidence ...

Researchers at the Crick have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact fertility in male mice. This research could help us understand why some men don’t ...

New research adds to our understanding of the function of the human genome. An international team of researchers has made ...

A research team at KAIST has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive phenomena such as cancer development, metastasis, tissue differentiation ...

A global team has made a significant advance in understanding how bacterial plasmids contribute to antibiotic resistance.

A new study shows that long-read sequencing has the potential to improve the rate of diagnosis while reducing the time to diagnosis from years to days -- in a single test and at a much lower cost.

Their activation might be thought of as analogous to having the accelerator stuck in the down position in a car. Tumor-suppressor genes, in contrast, code for proteins that function to repair damaged ...

Researchers at Tufts University revealed a possible molecular mechanism explaining how the DNA repeats are broken and then expanded in the Huntington’s disease gene, pointing to a component of the ...

This review focuses on intergenerational and transgenerational epigenetic inheritance in different plants, animal species and ...
