The correct functioning of cells relies heavily on the ability to finely control gene expression, a complex process by which the information contained in DNA is copied into RNA to eventually give rise ...

How does our DNA store the massive amount of information needed to build a human being? And what happens when it's stored incorrectly? Jesse Dixon, MD, Ph.D., has spent years studying the way this ...

The team found that many variants linked to complex diseases are also associated with more unproductive splicing and decreased gene expression. So, they believe that better understanding its impact ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

An extraction-free kit enables gene expression analysis directly from hepatocyte lysates, delivering results in 75 minutes with sensitivity comparable to RNA purification.
