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 ...

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 ...

Revolutions in gene therapy are rapidly changing the landscape of modern medicine, forcing society and science alike to ...

Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

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 ...

Genetics is the study of genes and how they influence characteristics and health. Through a variety of technological methods, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices, it is possible to alter some ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

In this Tech Blast episode supported by Thermo Fisher Scientific (MA, USA), Associate Product Manager Jon Flasher talks us through gene expression analysis, some of its challenges and the tools ...

Gene expression analysis is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the rapid evolution of advanced omics technologies. From single-cell ...

A study mapped genes linked to schizophrenia and uncovered a mechanism that disrupts synaptic plasticity in affected individuals. The researchers showed the role of three proteins in mediating the ...
