Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

An international research team has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin—DNA and proteins—plays a ...

Genes make up the blueprints and outline the process of building every living organism. To ensure that the right genes are activated in the right cells, and in the right amounts at the right time, ...

A UCLA-led study has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin — DNA and proteins — plays a critical role.

The parasite that causes malaria requires precise control of gene expression to progress through the various stages of its complex life cycle. A new study, by a multinational team of researchers, ...

By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...

“Expression tells us what cells do, but regulatory DNA tells us where they come from, how they develop, and which germ layer ...

Maternal stress could leave epigenetic imprints on genes in the placenta associated with cortisol -- a necessary hormone for fetal development -- and this would affect the baby's development from very ...

A new study has created a map of DNA modification in two regions of the brain critical to learning, memory and emotional regulation. The map offers a benchmark for ensuring stem cell-based models ...
