Recent groundbreaking research into ape genomes has uncovered mysterious non-human DNA structures that challenge our ...

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are actively expressed at any given time in a cell determines what type of cell it ...

Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have cracked open the secrets of plant stem cells, mapping key genetic regulators ...

After analyzing thousands of cellular samples, Jackson and colleagues have mapped out two well-known stem cell regulators for ...

The Seattle-based biotech company aims to make new drug discovery faster and cheaper by using AI to simulate the results from ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...

A new study suggests that a group of cells, key for the health of blood and the immune system, are vulnerable to aging-like ...

A gene-editing tool that can turn genes on and off like a light switch has been developed. Turning a gene on means activating ...
