A second example of how chemical environments affect gene expression is the case of supplemental oxygen administration causing blindness in premature infants (Silverman, 2004). In the 1940s ...

How do bacteria—harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease—organize their activities? A new study, ...

How do bacteria - harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease - organize their activities? A new study, combining powerful genomic-scale microscopy with a technical innovation, ...

In a novel theory, scientists at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute propose a unifying explanation for the ...

This new tool, known as minimal, versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT), combines the powers of gene editing, ...

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 ...

The tiny strings of RNA promote translation of a protein implicated in cancer, a hint they could regulate gene expression in more ways than previously thought. Holly Barker is a freelance journalist ...

A research team at KAIST has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive ...

Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered a novel mechanism that recognizes and eliminates "bad" transcriptional ...

Biology has yet to tap into the full benefits of computer simulations, but a new AI foundation model developed by a team of scientists including CMU's Eric Xing hopes to change that.

Researchers hope the AI tool will aid in the development of cell-specific gene therapies to treat diseases such as cancer.
