For decades, synthetic biologists have been developing gene circuits that can be transferred into cells for applications such ...

Alida Biosciences’ EpiPlex platform uses robust assay controls and specialized bioinformatics to detect RNA modification, genomic coordinates, and relative quantity.

Molecular biologists have long believed that the beginning of a gene launched the process of transcription—the process by which a segment of DNA is copied into RNA and then RNA helps make the proteins ...

MIT engineers developed a way to set gene expression levels at off, low, or high. Using skin cells, the researchers delivered ...

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

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 ...

A collaborative effort has shed valuable light on how monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and now histamine help regulate brain physiology and behavior through chemical bonding of ...
