A tiny switch in DNA allows neurons to change their function depending on the environment and alter behavior in worms.

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA knots that behave less like static quirks and more like hidden switches.

Scientists at Durham University, working in partnership with Jagiellonian University in Poland, have developed a new ...

Gene expression is controlled, in part, by the interactions between genes and regulatory elements located along the genome.

The human genome is chock full of what scientists once considered "junk DNA." This DNA is actually something called transposable elements, or TEs. These are repetitive sequences found in the genome ...

Artificial intelligence allows tracing the evolution of genetic control elements in the developing mammalian cerebellum. An international research team led by biologists from Heidelberg University as ...

New research using publicly-shared DNA barcodes and citizen science images have provided new evidence on the establishment and spread of a biological control agent used for the control of the major ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body’s basic components. However, building a functioning organism also requires precise instructions about when, where, and how ...

Scientists report that a new DNA-based treatment lowered bad cholesterol by nearly 50% after one injection targeting the ...

Researchers have explored ways to combine these materials into mixed-dimensional heterostructures that could harness the advantages of both. However, controlling the interaction between the components ...
