An innovative CRISPR-Cas12f-based activator system may hold significant potential in the future of gene therapy and biological research, suggest researchers of a new study. The study highlights the ...

Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is ...

Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA). This mechanism ...

The ability to control gene expression across a wide range is crucial for many fields, including bioengineering, disease ...

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

The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function. Epigenetic features are just one way that cells control gene expression, ...

Wheat has a very large and complex genome. Researchers have found that different varieties can use their genes in different ways. By studying RNA—the molecules that carry out instructions from ...

A new randomized study finds that a lab test that reads tumor genes can identify which patients with recurrent prostate ...

A study uncovers a cardiotoxic gene marker in cancer survivors linked to heart disease risk. Find out more about the results.
