Enhancers are pieces of DNA that act like switches, regulating when genes are turned on and off and how strongly they are ...

The formation of a healthy human heart is a marvel of biological timing and precision, requiring thousands of genes to turn on and off in the right cells at the exact right moment. Now, a ...

Origin-recognition complex (ORC) plays an unexpectedly broad role in the regulation of human cell gene expression, according to a study in the journal Cell Reports. "This is the first detailed study ...

Researchers from the University of California San Diego have created the most detailed map to date of how gene regulation ...

Scientists used GAGE-seq (genome architecture and gene expression by sequencing), a technique that measures both gene expression and physical contacts in the same single cell.

Epigenome editing has followed a similar path, in that more recent technological breakthroughs have enabled scientists to apply the discoveries made in previous decades. Epigenome editing performs a ...

Livestock breeders could soon have more tools to improve the health and quality of their animals, thanks to a recent study that sheds new light on regulatory elements in the sheep genome. Previous ...
