Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function. Epigenetic features are just one way that cells control gene expression, ...

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

To help achieve more precise control of gene therapy, engineers have designed a new control circuit that can keep gene expression levels within a target range. The method could be used to deliver ...

urning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is turned on, the production of proteins or other substances is promoted; when it's ...

As people live longer, the gut quietly accumulates damage that can tip the balance between healthy tissue renewal and chronic ...

The ability to control the expression of therapeutic genes within a “therapeutic window” is crucial to ensure the development of safe and effective gene therapies, but to date, there has been no ...

AI maps fleeting DNA quadruplexes, revealing paired structures that control genes in healthy cells and cancer.

Identifying genes that control protein levels could provide insight into disease development and progression. However, genetic analyses such as genome-wide associated studies identify regions ...

Scientists have discovered that male honeybee begging behaviour is controlled by a single gene called Fru. This gene ...
