Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to ...

As we age, we don't recover from injury or illness like we did when we were young. But new research from UCSF has found gene ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

Scientists identified 473 human genes that act as genetic “on/off switches,” shaping disease risk through tissue-specific or universal patterns regulated by DNA changes and hormones. Study: ...

We know the genes, but not their functions—to resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research ...

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 ...

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 ...
