Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

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

Traditionally, cancer diagnosis and prognosis rely heavily on histopathological examination, where tissue morphology is evaluated under the microscope. However, the molecular ...

A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly ...

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

A multi-omics study identifies causal genes and biological subtypes of long COVID, revealing new therapeutic targets for ...

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

Estrogen is known as an important hormone, and it can control many functions by regulating the activity of hundreds of genes.

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Oxygen is vital to the body. When levels of oxygen in the blood get too low, serious problems can arise. This can happen as people recover from some disorders that can drive oxygen levels down, such ...
