Arpita Bose and Zhecheng Zhang explore genetic tools in environmental microbes, citing applications in extracellular electron transfer ...

A recent study highlights how DNA microarray technology enables high-throughput gene analysis, supporting variation detection, expression ...

From rare diseases to chronic conditions, epigenetic editing unlocks new ways to control gene activity without altering the genetic code.

New research suggests that alternative splicing may have an even greater influence on biology than just by creating new protein isoforms. The study shows that the biggest impact of alternative ...

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 ...

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 ...

Biotechnology start-ups are often advised to think early about process design to avoid hiccups during scaleup. A clinical-stage gene-therapy developer has taken this approach to heart, saying they’ve ...

Monitoring gene activity in the brain just got a major upgrade. Rice University bioengineers have developed a novel serum ...
