Scientists have uncovered evidence supporting a mechanism in which transposable elements (TEs), once considered ...

Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

Researchers from A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a new method to study individual RNA ...

EpiCypher® and New England Biolabs® (NEB®) today announced an expanded strategic partnership to co-develop next-generation ...

Long-distance gene control first emerged around 650 to 700 million years ago, significantly earlier than scientists had ...

Some sequences in the genome cause genes to be switched on or off. Until now, each of these gene switches, or so-called enhancers, was thought to have its own place on the DNA. Different enhancers are ...

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 ...

While some scientists argue that agricultural gene editing regulations are overly restrictive, a new paper from the University of Adelaide emphasises the importance of clear regulations to ensure new ...

Communication begins long before children learn to speak. Researchers at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) in Taiwan have now uncovered how early brain activity helps build developing ...

Researchers at King's College London have identified the biological nature and timing of changes in human cortical neurons ...

The causes of male infertility can be hard to diagnose, with many tests failing to detect genetic defects. Sometimes, ...
