An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled across the human genome. The research is published in the journal Nature. The ...

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 ...

Epigenetics is a rapidly growing field of study that focuses on the heritable changes in gene expression that occur without alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes are caused by ...

Researchers at the Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Yale University, have used artificial intelligence (AI) to design thousands of new DNA switches that can ...

A new software package called CREsted, published in Nature Methods, gives researchers an end-to-end workflow for modeling and ...

Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have built a platform that steers cell behavior using ...

In back-to-back studies published in Nature, researchers from Purdue University and Columbia University report a naturally ...

Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene function that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence, plays a pivotal role in understanding the complex interplay between genetics and the environment ...

A new paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution, published by Oxford University Press, finds that changes in animal ...

Aging may "erase" the epigenetic markers that control gene expression in the brain, and this may snowball to cause unintended ...
