DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...
Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...
Researchers at the Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Yale University, have used artificial intelligence (AI) to design thousands of new DNA switches that can ...
It could be simply to control gene expression." The study, "Global impact of unproductive splicing on human gene expression levels and traits," was supported by funding from the National Institutes of ...
Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...
What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...
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 ...
