Could yeast and humans be any more different? Going by looks alone, probably not. But peering into our genomes reveals ...
This image illustrates the process of gene transcription within a cell. The DNA double helix unwinds to expose a specific sequence, allowing RNA polymerase to synthesize a complementary pre-mRNA ...
Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how a specific transcription factor promotes genetic reprogramming and ...
As animals and people age, there are changes in the genome. Telomeres, the protective ends of chromosomes, get shorter as cells continue to divide; some cells will pick up mutations in their genomes ...
Sorghum bicolor is a deep-rooted, heat- and drought-tolerant crop that thrives on marginal lands and is increasingly valued ...
MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, ...
A team of Chinese scientists has uncovered a hidden 3D structure in rice DNA that allows the crop to grow more grain while ...
Researchers have unveiled a new DNA-based therapy that silences the PCSK9 gene to lower cholesterol without statin side effects. Early results show dramatic reductions in cholesterol levels, offering ...
