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 the genetic mechanisms linking genome variations, such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), to phenotypes ...

The partners are launching ImmuneScape, a multiomics program using spatial and single-cell sequencing to study immune drivers ...

Engineers and biologists at Dartmouth College have found that, just like word order affects meaning in a sentence, the placement of genes within a plasmid—known as gene syntax—can influence how ...

Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene function that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence, plays a pivotal role in understanding the complex interplay between genetics and the environment ...

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 ...

New research reveals how a common gene variation boosts salivary enzymes, especially in people with diabetes, hinting at a possible biological link between starch digestion and blood glucose ...

Salinity and drought represent two of the most critical abiotic constraints limiting global crop productivity and threatening food security amid escalating ...
