Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are ...

Single cell gene expression studies often rely on single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) alone. While scRNA-seq reveals which genes are turned on, it does not capture protein expression or changes to ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in ...

Hosted by the Department of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry, the event is held on a near-annual basis to ...

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 ...

University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa scientists have uncovered a direct link between a missing Y chromosome gene and male infertility. Their new research reveals that deleting this single gene in mice not ...

Single-cell analyses revealed molecular profiles that can distinguish PTSD from depression, potentially leading to better drugs for this psychiatric disorder. To test this hypothesis, Girgenti and his ...

Researchers have designed vitamin K analogues with threefold greater potency in generating neurons than natural vitamin K.
