Targeting organ‑specific gene “switches” can reverse key markers of liver aging in mice, suggesting aging might be slowed one ...

Despite a host of checks and balances that usually prevent harmful genetic mutations, sometimes mistakes happen, with serious ...

SynGenSys applies computational design strategies to engineer synthetic promoters with predictable performance characteristics for therapeutic and manufacturing applications. Professor David James ...

Small RNAs play a major role in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Specific RNA profiles show distinct changes in the brain, especially in younger people.

Reeves' team has shown that gene regulation is happening at this level. "We can distinguish between the molecules that are moving slowly versus those that are moving quickly, as well as those not ...

A team led by UC Davis poultry scientist Huaijun Zhou has created the first comprehensive map of gene regulation in breeds of chickens. The map could be a resource for finding resistance to H5N1 ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning organism also requires precise instructions about when, where, and how ...

Gene editing tools are powering new innovation in the plant sciences world, but that brings new considerations of intellectual property and regulatory risks. Ever since powerful new gene editing tools ...
