Whole-genome sequencing reads every DNA base. This shifts medicine from diagnosing disease based on symptoms to molecular ...

For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new ...

The Feanedock Oak stands out so clearly in Derbyshire's section of the National Forest, you'd think it was calling to you.

I have spent years covering discoveries that nudge our origin story around the edges, but the sequencing of DNA from one of ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Learn how mapping the genome is crucial for identifying genes linked to diseases like inflammatory bowel disease and multiple ...

This study presents a valuable tool named TSvelo, a computational framework for RNA velocity inference that models transcriptional regulation and gene-specific splicing. The evidence supporting the ...

This valuable study addresses a critical and timely question regarding the role of a subpopulation of cortical interneurons (Chrna2-expressing Martinotti cells) in motor learning and cortical dynamics ...

Background Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) and juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS) can be caused by SMAD4 pathogenic variants. SMAD4 is a common transcription factor of the BMP/TGFβ ...
