Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function. Epigenetic features are just one way that cells control gene expression, ...

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...

To help achieve more precise control of gene therapy, engineers have designed a new control circuit that can keep gene expression levels within a target range. The method could be used to deliver ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too ...

urning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is turned on, the production of proteins or other substances is promoted; when it's ...

Genes make up the blueprints and outline the process of building every living organism. To ensure that the right genes are activated in the right cells, and in the right amounts at the right time, ...

Scientists have discovered that male honeybee begging behaviour is controlled by a single gene called Fru. This gene ...

Researchers have developed a new “color-coded” genetic method that makes it easy to distinguish male and female mosquitoes.
