In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have revealed previously unappreciated roles for the retrotransposon LINE ...

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

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

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

Elizabeth Kellogg, PhD, St. Jude Department of Structural Biology, used cryo-EM to study the evolutionary journey of Fanzor2, a compact eukaryotic genome-editing protein with huge potential. (MEMPHIS, ...

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

This article was review by Paul Sternberg, PhD from the California Institute of Technology and the Gene Ontology Consortium (GOC). Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. The ...

Scientists identified 473 human genes that act as genetic “on/off switches,” shaping disease risk through tissue-specific or universal patterns regulated by DNA changes and hormones. Study: ...

Scientists have revealed how Fanzor2's divergence from bacterial ancestors may make it a useful tool for future genomic engineering endeavors. A revolution in biomedicine is currently underway, driven ...
