Researchers identify a gene expression program in the living human brain that tracks with real-time neurotransmission, bridging the gap between genetics and electrical brain activity.

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Marvin Collins ’22, a bioengineering student, was balancing their Stanford classes from home in Alabama while also helping bioengineering professor ...

The BEX gene family, comprising Brain Expressed X-linked (BEX) genes, represents a group of highly conserved genes that have emerged as pivotal regulators in cancer biology. These genes display ...

In a finding that vastly expands the understanding of tumor evolution, researchers discover genetic biomarkers that can predict the breast cancer subtype a patient is likely to develop. A Stanford ...

The two main approaches for discovering disease genes reveal distinct aspects of biology, a new study shows. While both methods are widely used, the research found that they identify different genes, ...

The existence of orange cats dates back to at least the 12th century, but scientists have only had theories that a sex-linked genetic mutation is behind it. Now, new research has pinpointed the exact ...
