The overexpression of a gene tied to cell division and the structure and function of neurons may prevent and protect against cognitive decline in both mice and humans with Alzheimer's disease (AD), ...

Researchers have defined a new genetic disease caused by a mutation in the IVNS1ABP gene. The condition marks a rare ...

Life begins with a quiet but precise choreography inside the nucleus. For decades, scientists believed that a newly ...

In back-to-back studies published in Nature, researchers from Purdue University and Columbia University report a naturally ...

Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute and an international team of collaborators have defined a ...

In modern functional genomics, understanding how specific genes control cellular behavior requires both targeted intervention and high-resolution analysis. That’s where Perturb-Seq comes in—a method ...

Chromosomes are thread-like structures comprising DNA that are present inside the nucleus of every cell in the body. Specific segments of DNA are called genes. Every chromosome contains many genes, ...

Genes are specific segments of DNA that influence certain aspects of growth and health. Collectively, scientists refer to all of an organism’s genes as a genome. DNA is the genetic material or code ...

Could a gene regulatory network in gut microbes have evolved its elaborate and tightly regulated molecular machinery only to pump out antibiotics indiscriminately? Researchers from the Institute of ...
