Researchers discover a protein that connects GLP-1 drugs to long-term, broad genomic responses that can promote pancreatic ...
Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...
Since the publication of the Human Genome Project, researchers have expanded the field of genomics to probe deeper into the underpinnings of human biology and disease, including studies of the body’s ...
The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Different parts of the brain perform a variety of functions, all of ...
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, ...
Study shows GM gene-edited rice is not “substantially equivalent” to the parental non-edited rice. Report: Claire Robinson and Prof Michael Antoniou ...
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 ...
What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...
Research into transcription factors deepen understanding of the 'language' of the genome, offering insights into human development. New research has uncovered more about the complexity of human gene ...
