The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

The overexpression of a gene tied to cell division and the structure and function of neurons may prevent and protect against cognitive decline in both mice and humans with Alzheimer's disease (AD), ...

We know the genes, but not their functions—to resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research team has proposed a cutting-edge research strategy that leverages artificial ...

Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, ...

Chromosomes are thread-like structures comprising DNA that are present inside the nucleus of every cell in the body. Specific segments of DNA are called genes. Every chromosome contains many genes, ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this process possible. Among the discoveries is PEDS1, a gene now linked to a ...

In modern functional genomics, understanding how specific genes control cellular behavior requires both targeted intervention and high-resolution analysis. That’s where Perturb-Seq comes in—a method ...

No gene acts alone: interacting variants and protein partnerships can worsen, mask or even rescue disease risk, demanding ...
