Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how a specific transcription factor promotes genetic reprogramming and ...

Sorghum bicolor is a deep-rooted, heat- and drought-tolerant crop that thrives on marginal lands and is increasingly valued ...

Our experiences leave traces in the brain, stored in small groups of cells called "engrams". Engrams are thought to hold the ...

Alternative splicing exhibits lineage-specific variability, with mammals and birds reaching the highest levels despite conserved intron-rich architectures, while unicellular eukaryotes and prokaryotes ...

Parkinson's disease causes both movement and cognitive deficits, and for a long time both were thought to be caused by the accumulation of a protein called alpha-synuclein in the brain. But a new ...

Single cell gene expression studies often rely on single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) alone. While scRNA-seq reveals which genes are turned on, it does not capture protein expression or changes to ...

The arms and heads of opossums (pictured here one day before birth) and other marsupials develop faster than their legs and back bodies. Short-tailed opossums aren’t exactly cute when they’re born.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of RNA molecule that do not carry instructions to make proteins. Instead, they influence how other genes are expressed. There are tens of thousands of lncRNAs ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of Chinese researchers led by Prof. GAO Caixia from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed two new genome editing ...
