Humans have about 3 billion DNA bases in their genetic makeup. However, most of it does not encode for protein.

Spinal translational control mechanisms regulate gene expression and nociceptive circuit sensitization during the chronic phase of neuropathic pain.

Cross-species research shows that RNA splicing patterns, not just gene activity, track maximum lifespan in mammals, revealing a new axis of longevity control.

Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have built a platform that steers cell behavior using ...

A study reveals a novel gene regulation mechanism using RNA guides to activate genes, offering a versatile tool for synthetic biology, and potential biomedical applications.

In 1976, Richard Dawkins published a book titled after an idea he’d come up with while teaching a lecture on animal behaviour for his PhD supervisor. It just so happened that the idea of The Selfish ...

New research suggests that a single gene may play an outsize role in developing Alzheimer's, which suggests gene therapy for the condition could reach many people. When you purchase through links on ...

Livestock breeders could soon have more tools to improve the health and quality of their animals, thanks to a recent study that sheds new light on regulatory elements in the sheep genome. Previous ...
