Gene-set analysis seeks to identify the biological mechanisms underlying groups of genes with shared functions. Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in generating functional descriptions ...

Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have found that temporarily disabling a protein complex that organizes DNA into loops ...

A new study reveals that while the cellular makeup of male and female brains is similar, the way their genes function differs ...

Novel approach to engineering complex microbial traits generates tens of millions of gene combinations, enabling gain-of-function traits beyond those observed from individual genes SAN DIEGO, April 8, ...

This important study advances a new computational approach to measure and visualize gene expression specificity across different tissues and cell types. The framework is potentially helpful for ...

Research has shed important new light on the enemies-turned-allies that allow bacteria to exchange genes, including those ...

This article was review by Paul Sternberg, PhD from the California Institute of Technology and the Gene Ontology Consortium (GOC). Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. The ...

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 ...

Bacterial blight (BB) is a serious plant disease that mainly affects rice plants, especially in warm, humid regions. Due to ...

Did humans lose their sense of smell? A study on the Orang Asli people reveals that hunter-gatherers maintain ancestral smell genes for foraging, while farmers' olfactory receptors evolved alongside ...
