The researchers used a genetic tool called CRISPRi that can mute DNA sections without permanently cutting them. The tool was ...

Researchers are investigating the role of non-coding DNA, or junk DNA, in regulating astrocytes, brain cells involved in ...

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a double helix. That picture is still right, but it is no longer enough.

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

Using CLASSIC, Rice researchers realized that circuits are variable, having multiple pathways to elicit the same outcome.

We know the genes, but not their functions—to resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular senescence—a state where cells stop dividing but remain metabolically active.

A new CRISPR-based approach for tuning gene expression up and down allowed identification of how other genes' expression responds to changes of transcription factors.

Plants rely on complex chemical defenses to survive attacks from pathogens, yet the genetic basis underlying the production ...

Exploring the role of FXYD family (FXYD domain-containing ion transport regulators) proteins in health and disease The FXYD ...
