Scientists have long believed they understood how life’s genetic code evolved, but new research upends that assumption. By ...

The innovation, he says, could transform the way scientists measure and address genomic breaks in gene-editing systems.

DNA transcription is the vital first step needed for switching on our genes. For a gene to be switched on, it must be acted ...

A study reveals DNA and RNA epigenetics work together as a complementary system for precise gene regulation, crucial for cell ...

Although the genetic sequence is the same in every cell in the body, only a subset of those genes is expressed by each cell.

Genetic medicines could treat certain diseases, however, the current delivery systems available—viral vectors and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs)—pose unique challenges for gene therapy applications. For ...

Before species go extinct, their populations often shrink and become isolated. Healthy populations tend to have a large gene pool with many genetic variants circulating. But the path to extinction ...

A significant advancement in knowledge of the link between cognition and genetics has been made thanks to a study led by ...

Scientists at UC San Diego find that gene expression is linked to gene mutations and may be caused by them. That could make ...

AlleyWatch sat down with Nucleus CEO and Founder Kian Sadeghi to learn more about the business, its future plans, and recent ...

Australian cancer researchers are the first to establish a next-generation gene-editing tool for modeling and interrogating human disease.
