Multi-omics integration enhances understanding of biological systems, revealing complex interactions through spatial ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

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 ...

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, ...

A new randomized study finds that a lab test that reads tumor genes can identify which patients with recurrent prostate ...

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

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

Two Ohio University Ph.D. students recently showcased their research at the 2025 International Conference on Plant Cell Wall ...

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