Understanding how genes are switched on and off in specific cell types remains one of biology's central challenges. While AI ...

Small RNAs play a major role in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Specific RNA profiles show distinct changes in the brain, especially in younger people.

Despite a host of checks and balances that usually prevent harmful genetic mutations, sometimes mistakes happen, with serious ...

SynGenSys applies computational design strategies to engineer synthetic promoters with predictable performance characteristics for therapeutic and manufacturing applications. Professor David James ...

Reeves' team has shown that gene regulation is happening at this level. "We can distinguish between the molecules that are moving slowly versus those that are moving quickly, as well as those not ...

Life depends on genes being switched on and off at exactly the right time. Even the simplest living organisms do this, but usually over short distances across the DNA sequence, with the on/off switch ...

A team led by UC Davis poultry scientist Huaijun Zhou has created the first comprehensive map of gene regulation in breeds of chickens. The map could be a resource for finding resistance to H5N1 ...

Gene editing tools are powering new innovation in the plant sciences world, but that brings new considerations of intellectual property and regulatory risks. Ever since powerful new gene editing tools ...
