Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have developed a new method to discover how DNA controls genes. Their technique, ...

Researchers from the Voigt lab have extended our understanding of how developmental genes are held in a poised state to allow timely expression once they receive the correct 'go' signals.

This study reveals how gene expression patterns uncover molecular pathways linking comorbidities, enhancing treatment ...

This new research may also prove important for future drug development. Scientists have identified numerous genes linked to cancer, but controlling their expression remains a challenge.

A new study has found that ORC plays a broad, unexpected role in regulating human cell gene expression and chromatin ...

Cohesin is a protein that forms a ring-shaped complex which wraps and alters the DNA molecule shape. It moves through the DNA and creates specific loops in the genetic material which determine the ...

A new MIT study in Cell of 3.5 million cells from more than 100 human brains finds that Alzheimer’s progression—but also ...

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 ...
