A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant ...

More than 2.3 million ancient genetic switches discovered in plants reveal how key growth controls endured 300 million years ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

Researchers uncovered millions of ancient plant DNA switches—some older than flowering plants themselves—revealing a hidden evolutionary blueprint stretching back 400 million years. Most people have ...

An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled across the human genome. The research is published in the journal Nature. The ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.

Newborn babies admitted to the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) rely on the quick decisions and rapid action of the medical team responsible for them. DNA testing is critical to ...
