Imagine being able to flip a light switch to control disease pathways inside a living cell. A team of visionary researchers ...

For decades, scientists thought the noncoding parts of DNA were useless leftovers. Today, that view has completely changed.

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are ...

This study reveals how gene expression patterns uncover molecular pathways linking comorbidities, enhancing treatment ...

A ‘noisy’ chromatin structure allows cells to take on different identities, helping the immune system but possibly leading to ...

Researchers took stem cells from bone marrow and found that after a little over a month in space, the functions of those cells got worse.

In a study published in Science, researchers found that the defense protein "Resistin like molecule gamma" (Relmy), produced ...

A map of DNA methylation changes in human organs—from the stomach to the retinas—could help researchers discover more targets ...

Epigenetic processes, including DNA methylation, histone modification and various RNA-mediated processes, are thought to influence gene expression chiefly at the level of transcription; however ...

Gene-expression profiling with the use of DNA microarrays allows measurement of thousands of messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts in a single experiment. Results of such studies have confirmed that ...

A new study identifies associations between DNA methylation patterns and gene expression levels in blood samples from children. The findings provide researchers with a powerful tool to better ...
