Researchers at the Yale School of Public Health have discovered the evolutionary rhythm of gene expression, showing that changes happen at strikingly varied rates. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

Chronic alcohol consumption profoundly alters gene expression in key brain regions involved in reward, impulse control, and ...

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 ...

Understanding human biology requires more than mapping our genes—we must also understand how gene expression is regulated to guide healthy development, growth, and maintenance of our body systems over ...

Cells are defined by the genes they express. In human cells, there are thousands of different protein coding genes, and the expression of those genes is carefully orchestrated and controlled by a ...

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

A newly discovered code within DNA -- coined 'spatial grammar' -- holds a key to understanding how gene activity is encoded in the human genome. This breakthrough finding revealed a long-postulated ...

A newly developed mouse model enables real-time visualization of RNA Polymerase II (RNAP2) during DNA transcription, as reported by researchers from Science Tokyo. The team engineered mice to produce ...

Scientists have generated a new catalog of human gene expression data from around the world to address how most research in human genetics has historically focused on people of European ancestries -- ...
