The overexpression of a gene tied to cell division and the structure and function of neurons may prevent and protect against cognitive decline in both mice and humans with Alzheimer's disease (AD), ...

Researchers have defined a new genetic disease caused by a mutation in the IVNS1ABP gene. The condition marks a rare ...

Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute and an international team of collaborators have defined a ...

Chromosomes are thread-like structures comprising DNA that are present inside the nucleus of every cell in the body. Specific segments of DNA are called genes. Every chromosome contains many genes, ...

Whitehead Institute researchers have created the first information-rich genotype-phenotype map that reveals a multidimensional portrait of gene and cellular function. By performing genome-scale ...

In modern functional genomics, understanding how specific genes control cellular behavior requires both targeted intervention and high-resolution analysis. That’s where Perturb-Seq comes in—a method ...

Researchers also reported results from a separate trial of a gene therapy the company is developing for PKP2-related arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.

In back-to-back studies published in Nature, researchers from Purdue University and Columbia University report a naturally ...

Genes are specific segments of DNA that influence certain aspects of growth and health. Collectively, scientists refer to all of an organism’s genes as a genome. DNA is the genetic material or code ...

Could a gene regulatory network in gut microbes have evolved its elaborate and tightly regulated molecular machinery only to pump out antibiotics indiscriminately? Researchers from the Institute of ...
