Using genomic and transcriptional data has greatly improved the understanding of multiple aspects of human physiology. A new paper in PNAS reports on molecular-level associations of co-occurring ...

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 ...

Understanding the genetic mechanisms linking genome variations, such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), to phenotypes ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to reveal disruptions in gene function in three brain regions of patients with ...

PCR-based techniques have transformed how scientists analyze transcripts’ translational applications in cancer and ...

Thermo Fisher Scientific Launches Invitrogen™ TaqMan™ Cells-to-CT™ HepatoExpress Kit to Simplify Liver Cell Gene Expression and Help Advance Early-Stage Drug ...

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

Much of pancreatic cancer’s evasive and deadly nature may come down to low levels of one gene. In A Nutshell Early detection, ...

Inducible promoters provide remarkable utility when sustained transgene expression compromises plant development or agronomic performance.

Unlike animals, plants generate most organs after embryogenesis through stem cell–driven meristems, enabling lifelong growth ...
