Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

Our circadian clocks play a crucial role in our health and well-being, keeping our 24-hour biological cycles in sync with ...

Chronic alcohol consumption profoundly alters gene expression in key brain regions involved in reward, impulse control, and ...

A newly published scientific paper titled "Gene Expression Patterns in Lung Adenocarcinoma Cells in Response to Changes in ...

Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells.

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 ...

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

This study reveals that enhancing the activity of a conserved “housekeeping” gene can significantly elevate fruit nutritional and sensory traits. By increasing the expression of a tRNA-associated gene ...

What if you could flip a genetic switch to silence a gene, then turn it back on with a simple drug? For researchers, gene-switch tools offer that kind of control—and a new system called Cyclone may ...

Validated, tissue-specific library enables customisable and controllable liver-targeted gene expression with high specificity and minimal off-target activity in muscle tissue ...

Fruit shape is a defining trait that influences both crop quality and consumer preference, yet its genetic control remains ...
