Human genes are written in long strings of three-letter units composed of four different nucleotides. These units—or ...

Researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute and Tufts University have engineered frog-cell constructs that autonomously assemble ...

Inside a diseased cell, the genes are in chaos. Some are receiving signals to overproduce a protein. Others are reducing ...

Researchers identify a gene expression program in the living human brain that tracks with real-time neurotransmission, bridging the gap between genetics and electrical brain activity.

Researchers have identified a distinct and reproducible gene expression program associated with neurotransmission in the ...

Livestock breeders could soon have more tools to improve the health and quality of their animals, thanks to a recent study that sheds new light on regulatory elements in the sheep genome.

This article explains how diet creates sustained epigenetic changes that affect long-term health, disease risk, aging, and ...

Cars patched up after a wreck may look fixed—but never run quite as before. The same may hold true for chromatin, according to a study published in Science on November 6. In response to double-strand ...
