There’s 99.9% similarity across human genomes, with the remaining 0.1% variation being what makes each person unique.1 In ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

Sorghum bicolor is a deep-rooted, heat- and drought-tolerant crop that thrives on marginal lands and is increasingly valued ...

Genes encode proteins and proteins dictate cell function. Therefore, the thousands of genes expressed in a particular cell determine what that cell can do. Moreover, each step in the flow of ...

A research team at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology has successfully combined single-cell RNA sequencing ...

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

Our experiences leave traces in the brain, stored in small groups of cells called "engrams". Engrams are thought to hold the ...

The 55th Lewis S. Rosenstiel Award for Distinguished Work in Basic Medical Research has been awarded to professor Steven ...

A new study has revealed that the gene HMGN1 is a key driver of congenital heart defects (CHDs) in Down syndrome. Using ...

Researchers at Fujita Health University and the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science have uncovered a previously overlooked form of brain abnormality linked to anxiety: excessive maturation ...
