Although heart cells and skin cells contain identical instructions for creating proteins encoded in their DNA, they're able ...

Understanding how cells turn genes on and off is one of biology's most enduring mysteries. Now, a new technology developed by chemist Brian Liau and his collaborators at Harvard offers an ...

Vinay Prasad, chief of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, is planning to publish a paper this month to ...

Investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine have developed a versatile and non-toxic technology for controlling the activity of ...

A team led by UC Davis poultry scientist Huaijun Zhou has created the first comprehensive map of gene regulation in breeds of chickens. The map could be a resource for finding resistance to H5N1 ...

Torino is a computational workflow that uses biobank-scale RNA-seq data to decode transcript structures and expression levels from read coverage alone.

New research reveals how a common gene variation boosts salivary enzymes, especially in people with diabetes, hinting at a possible biological link between starch digestion and blood glucose ...

ElevateBio is seeking out partnerships for its lead gene therapy after the construct reduced the levels of a toxic protein in mice with Huntington’s disease by more than 80%. The therapy had no impact ...

Molecular biologists have long believed that the beginning of a gene launched the process of transcription—the process by which a segment of DNA is copied into RNA and then RNA helps make the proteins ...
