With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells. How genes are turned on ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Salk Institute researchers find new mode of epigenetic targeting, showing for the first time that genetic sequences can direct new DNA methylation patterns in plants LA JOLLA (November 21, 2025)—All ...

This manuscript presents an in-depth analysis of gene expression across multiple brown algal species with differing life histories, providing convincing evidence for the conservation of life ...

Different variants of a gene, known as isoforms, can be transcribed and translated at varying levels within a cell or tissue. These isoforms are commonly a result of alternative splicing, which ...

Wheat is the most widely cultivated crop in the world; over 215 million hectares are grown annually. To meet the demands of a growing global population, plant breeders face the challenge of increasing ...

Using genomic and transcriptional data has greatly improved the understanding of multiple aspects of human physiology. A new paper in PNAS reports on molecular-level associations of co-occurring ...

Introduction: RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) can measure whole transcriptome gene expression from tissues or even individual cells, providing a powerful tool to study the immune response. Analysis of ...

A new international study suggests that ancient viral DNA embedded in our genome, which were long dismissed as genetic "junk", may actually play powerful roles in regulating gene expression. Focusing ...

Precision Treatment of Patients With GI Cancer Using Pre-emptive DPYD Genotyping/Phenotyping Plus Pharmacokinetic-Guided Dosing of 5-Fluorouracil Primary PCa biopsy samples underwent ...
