Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA ...

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 ...

A team led by Professor Shoichiro Asayama at Tokyo Metropolitan University has synthesized a charge-free molecule designed to ...

Researchers at the Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Yale University, have used artificial intelligence (AI) to design thousands of new DNA switches that can ...

New findings show that the genome’s 3D structure is constantly changing, with NIPBL guiding loop formation that regulates active genes. Faulty folding dynamics may underlie cancers and developmental ...

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

Less than 2% of the genome codes for proteins; the rest, once called 'junk DNA', contains regulatory elements. Researchers ...

Primary immunodeficiencies are genetic disorders that impact on the immune system due to defective function of a variety of genes. Among those molecules are ...

A newly published scientific paper titled "Gene Expression Patterns in Lung Adenocarcinoma Cells in Response to Changes in ...

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 ...
