Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are actively expressed at any given time in a cell determines what type of cell it ...

When a gene is turned on in a cell, it creates a ripple effect along the DNA strand, changing the physical structure of the ...

Two papers published in The New England Journal of Medicine highlight the potential of gene editing for treatment of sickle ...

Capture-seq, CAMP4 has assembled what it believes to be the largest catalog of regRNAs ever compiled, uncovering thousands of previously undiscovered regRNAs in human cells New research enables the ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected way cells can generate cancer-driving proteins—by cutting RNA into shorter, ...

Single cell gene expression studies often rely on single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) alone. While scRNA-seq reveals which genes are turned on, it does not capture protein expression or changes to ...

Single-cell analyses revealed molecular profiles that can distinguish PTSD from depression, potentially leading to better drugs for this psychiatric disorder. To test this hypothesis, Girgenti and his ...

Why do brain disorders affect men and women differently? Researchers used RNA sequencing to identify 3,000 sex-biased genes in the human cortex linked to psychiatric risk.

Rutgers University researchers find that certain aging immune T cells can blunt cell expansion and may help explain why many ...

For decades, depression has been explained to patients as a “chemical imbalance” in the brain, a vague phrase that never ...
