Our experiences leave traces in the brain, stored in small groups of cells called engrams. Engrams are thought to hold the ...

A team of Chinese scientists has uncovered a hidden 3D structure in rice DNA that allows the crop to grow more grain while ...

Jonathan Henninger, an assistant professor of biological sciences, is part of a growing movement in the life sciences exploring how ribonucleic acid, known as RNA, can be harnessed to develop ...

This study offers a valuable methodological advance by introducing a gene panel selection approach that captures combinatorial specificity to define cell identity. The findings address key limitations ...

Arc Institute, Gladstone Institutes, and University of California, San Francisco, scientists have developed an epigenetic ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Essentially all cells in an organism’s body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are actively expressed at any given time in a cell determines ...

Gene editing has made huge leaps in recent years, such as treating the congenital blood disorders sickle cell anemia and beta thalassemia, which can require lifelong blood transfusions. But scientists ...

The human genome is chock full of what scientists once considered "junk DNA." This DNA is actually something called transposable elements, or TEs. These are repetitive sequences found in the genome ...

Abstract: Experimental genomics involves a series of techniques and methodologies aimed at analysing the organization and behaviour of genes and genomes. Microarrays have a large number of nucleic ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...
