Cellular RNAs are extensively decorated with chemical modifications that fine-tune gene expression at multiple levels. Among these, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) emerges as the most abundant internal mark ...

In back-to-back studies published in Nature, researchers from Purdue University and Columbia University report a naturally evolved gene-editing system that can activate genes, offering an advantage ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

Mice and newts were applied to the one-step Cre-loxP organism creation technology by TAx9. In this study, the researchers succeeded in synthesizing a Cre-loxP integrated vector by placing a short DNA ...

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

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 ...

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are actively expressed at any given time in a cell determines what type of cell it ...

What if your food could switch off bad genes? Epinutrition shows how the right nutrients reshape your DNA for better health ...
