Cross-species research shows that RNA splicing patterns, not just gene activity, track maximum lifespan in mammals, revealing ...

KYOTO – An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled across the human genome. A new study has comprehensively analyzed ...

Origin-recognition complex, or ORC, plays an unexpectedly broad role in the regulation of human cell gene expression, according to a study in the journal Cell Reports. This is the first detailed study ...

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 ...

In biology classrooms, we often learn that genes are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins—a tidy, linear process. But gene expression in living cells is far more intricate, ...

A new paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution, finds that changes in animal development induced by climate shock persist ...

Livestock breeders could soon have more tools to improve the health and quality of their animals, thanks to a recent study that sheds new light on regulatory elements in the sheep genome. Subscribe to ...

While CRISPR may be the most notable genetic technology to emerge from microbes, many of the tools researchers use to control genes and their products are borrowed from bacterial systems. One of these ...

On Wednesday afternoon, Haifan Lin, the director of the Yale Stem Cell Center, discussed his innovative research findings in stem cell gene expression and regulation at Brown’s 2025 Mac V. Edds ...
