Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Causal inference is crucial in biological research, as it enables the understanding of complex relationships and dynamic processes that drive cellular behavior, development, and disease.

Researchers discovered that certain human brain cells evolved unusually fast, altering autism-linked gene activity.

Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have cracked open the secrets of plant stem cells, mapping key genetic regulators in maize and Arabidopsis. By using single-cell RNA sequencing, they ...
