We tend to view ourselves and the complex cells that build us as a distinct branch of the tree of life from the compact, ...

Reconstruction of the ancestral gene repertoire of eukaryotic cells reveals traces of a series of close, long-term ...

Northwestern University biophysicists have developed a new computational tool for identifying the gene combinations underlying complex illnesses like diabetes, cancer and asthma. Unlike single-gene ...

Previously, research on controlling gene networks has been carried out based on a single stimulus-response of cells. More recently, studies have been proposed to precisely analyze complex gene ...

Genetic changes can signal evidence of disease, but pinpointing which genes and what's changed can be difficult. Their new approach could allow doctors to detect and treat so-called cardiometabolic ...

RNA therapeutics have emerged as one of the most promising new classes of medicines. Eight small interfering RNA (siRNA) ...

Northwestern University biophysicists have developed a new computational tool for identifying the gene combinations underlying complex illnesses like diabetes, cancer and asthma. Unlike single-gene ...

New findings, published in Nature, help answer the riddle of how vertebrates evolved the diverse array of brain cells that ...

Human cells that have been edited with the new retron-based gene editing technology. Orange dots mark successful gene edits. Green dots show a fluorescent protein tag on the surface of mitochondria.

The vast majority of mammalian cell pre-mRNAs contain multiple introns that must be removed before the resulting mRNA, which consists only of exons, can produce the encoded protein having the ...
