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

Researchers discovered that certain human brain cells evolved unusually fast, altering autism-linked gene activity.

The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function. Epigenetic features are just one way that cells control gene expression, ...

Several genetic variants associated with social behavior in honey bees are located within genes that have previously been ...

In the post-genomic era, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators in various cancers and hold potential as minimally invasive diagnostic biomarkers. This study aimed to ...

Most people recognize Alzheimer's from its devastating symptoms such as memory loss, while new drugs target pathological aspects of disease manifestations, such as plaques of amyloid proteins. Now a ...

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

New research is shining a light on one of genetics' enduring puzzles—how the workings of the so-called "selfish gene" could ...

Sex-biased gene expression in the body organs evolves rapidly, supporting a mosaic model of maleness and femaleness across tissues and thus challenging binary views of sex characteristics in mammals.
