Every cell in the body has the same DNA, but different cell types—such as muscle or brain cells—use different parts of it.

Michael Buck, PhD, professor of biochemistry in the Jacobs School, recently received NIH funding to explore how molecular readers of DNA access and activate seemingly hidden genes.

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of tumor and germline can generate actionable molecular insights that can guide precision medicine efforts in salivary gland cancer (SGC), according to a new study in JCO ...

In a world first, a bespoke gene-editing therapy benefited one child. Now researchers plan to launch a clinical trial of the approach ...
