How do our genes determine our appearance and our susceptibility to disease? This question is central to biomedical research, ...

Not all parts of our genetic code are equal, even when they appear to say the same thing. Scientists have discovered that cells can detect less efficient genetic instructions and selectively silence ...

Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is turned on, the production of proteins or other substances is promoted; when ...

Recent advances in genomics, genome editing, and imaging technologies have revealed that neural activity can rapidly alter chromatin accessibility, ...

Cancer cells are known to reawaken embryonic genes to grow. A new study reveals the disease also hijacks the proteins, or "editors," that control how those genes are read. The findings, published in ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this process possible. Among the discoveries is PEDS1, a gene now linked to a ...

Virginia Tech scientists at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute say the increased risk of cardiovascular disease after ...
