Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, ...

A "gene silencer" (technically known as small interfering RNA, or siRNA), locally delivered by nanoparticles embedded in an ...

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

No gene acts alone: interacting variants and protein partnerships can worsen, mask or even rescue disease risk, demanding ...

Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a powerful new AI tool called Splam that can identify where splicing occurs in genes—an advance that could help scientists analyze genetic data with greater ...

Could a gene regulatory network in gut microbes have evolved its elaborate and tightly regulated molecular machinery only to pump out antibiotics indiscriminately? Researchers from the Institute of ...

Gene-set analysis seeks to identify the biological mechanisms underlying groups of genes with shared functions. Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in generating functional descriptions ...

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

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Fiber is well known to be an important part of a healthy diet, yet less than 10% of Americans eat the minimum recommended amount. A new study from Stanford Medicine might finally convince us to fill ...
