New technique reveals how gene transcription is coordinated in cells By capturing short-lived RNA molecules, scientists can map relationships between genes and the regulatory elements that control ...

Using a technique called spatial transcriptomics, researchers have analyzed the gene expression in the mouse colon and created a map showing where in the tissue individual genes are expressed. When ...

Disease development is often shaped by genetics, with how much or how little a gene is expressed influencing disease risk.

The human genome contains about 23,000 genes, but only a fraction of those genes are turned on inside a cell at any given time. The complex network of regulatory elements that controls gene expression ...

Using a technique called spatial transcriptomics, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have analyzed the gene expression in the mouse colon and created a map showing where in the tissue ...

Climate change tests the resilience of farmers and their crops. To better understand how plants respond to their dynamic environments, scientists magnify the complex biological conversations between ...

Researchers identify new height genes utilizing both CRISPR knockout gene screening and genome-wide association study data. An international collaboration of researchers combined two genetic methods ...

The human genome contains about 23,000 genes, but only a fraction of those genes are turned on inside a cell at any given time. The complex network of regulatory elements that controls gene expression ...

This distance can make it difficult to map the complex interactions between genes and enhancers. To overcome that, MIT researchers have invented a new technique that allows them to observe the timing ...
