The overexpression of a gene tied to cell division and the structure and function of neurons may prevent and protect against cognitive decline in both mice and humans with Alzheimer's disease (AD), ...

Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

Scientists have identified a new RNA molecule that may play a key role in improving survival in cancer patients.

Researchers have defined a new genetic disease caused by a mutation in the IVNS1ABP gene. The condition marks a rare combination of premature physical aging and progressive neurological decline caused ...

Plants rely on gene regulators to grow, flower, reproduce, and survive drought, disease, and other environmental pressures.

In modern functional genomics, understanding how specific genes control cellular behavior requires both targeted intervention and high-resolution analysis. That’s where Perturb-Seq comes in—a method ...

Quantitative Plant Science Initiative led by Brookhaven Lab aims to decode functions of genes and their impacts on productivity to guide breeding, engineering of sustainable bioenergy crops UPTON, NY- ...

Genes are specific segments of DNA that influence certain aspects of growth and health. Collectively, scientists refer to all of an organism’s genes as a genome. DNA is the genetic material or code ...

Researchers also reported results from a separate trial of a gene therapy the company is developing for PKP2-related arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.

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 ...
