Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

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), ...

Scientists have identified hundreds of genes that may increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease but the roles these ...

Whole genome duplication followed by massive gene loss has shaped many genomes, including the human genome. Why some gene duplicates are retained while most perish has puzzled scientists for decades.

Scientists have uncovered how a newly discovered gene, NEK1, in which mutations have been linked to ALS cases, disrupts the function of the motor neuron and causes it to degenerate and die. The viral ...

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 ...

New research reveals that child maltreatment leaves measurable biological “scars” on DNA, altering brain structure and function.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI) at Texas ...
