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

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA). This mechanism ...

An innovative CRISPR-Cas12f-based activator system may hold significant potential in the future of gene therapy and biological research, suggest researchers of a new study. The study highlights the ...

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

MIT researchers created the first large-scale atlas combining gene expression and regulation in over 3.5 million brain cells. They found that Alzheimer’s disease involves a collapse of nuclear ...
