Patients with potentially blinding retinitis pigmentosa recover retinal sensitivity 3 years after receiving a gene therapy ...

Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is ...

Scientists have now created an encyclopedia of gene function for all known human genes that code for protein. This data uses the most current and reliable data, and it has also been released on a ...

During development, many crucial genes help organisms form properly. One of those genes is myogenic determination gene number 1 (MyoD), which can exert a powerful influence as a “genome organizer." It ...

A gene-editing tool that can turn genes on and off like a light switch has been developed. Turning a gene on means activating ...

Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a powerful new AI tool called Splam that can identify where splicing occurs in genes—an advance that could help scientists analyze genetic data with greater ...

A consortium of researchers has produced the largest and most advanced multidimensional maps of gene regulation networks in the brains of people with and without mental disorders. These maps detail ...

The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the development of CRISPR/Cas9, a method also known as "gene scissors," which enables researchers to better understand how human cells function and ...

Primary cilia play a powerful role in how cells sense their surroundings. They help guide embryo development and ensure ...

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

Understanding this regulation is vital for breeding resilient cucumbers that can adapt to varied environmental and market ...
