Producing the highest accuracy, the 9-gene set produced became the basis of the final classifier. When applied to multiple ...

Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

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 ...

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

Molecular and morphological profiles of developing neurons in vitro uncover the cellular dynamics of human neurodevelopment and related disease.

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are medical conditions characterized by the progressive degradation ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown that DNA inflexibility, or rigidity, inside the nucleosome regulates the positioning of INO80. This highlights that the ...

The microbes in our gut have a significant impact on many aspects of our health. New research has indicated that bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract can affect the activation of gut genes. Gene ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Scientists still have a lot to learn about how memories are created and stored in the brain. The expression of genes leads to the formation of mRNA molecules, and in the brain, mRNA is thought to be ...
