All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their ...

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 ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden announced the honor today. Victor R. Ambros, PhD, and Gary ...

Researchers have determined whether a specific chemical modification of a protein that packages the genome called a histone affects gene activity and cell proliferation. Researchers have determined ...

With a three-year, $1.6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Chi Zhang, Edgar Cahoon and Bin Yu will focus on the genome-wide identification of small ...

In biology classrooms, we often learn that genes are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins—a tidy, linear process. But gene expression in living cells is far more intricate, ...

For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new ...

This study presents a valuable tool named TSvelo, a computational framework for RNA velocity inference that models transcriptional regulation and gene-specific splicing. The evidence supporting the ...
