Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

New research suggests that alternative splicing may have an even greater influence on biology than just by creating new protein isoforms. The study shows that the biggest impact of alternative ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

Gene expression analysis is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the rapid evolution of advanced omics technologies. From single-cell ...

Understanding human biology requires more than mapping our genes—we must also understand how gene expression is regulated to guide healthy development, growth, and maintenance of our body systems over ...

Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

Since the publication of the Human Genome Project, researchers have expanded the field of genomics to probe deeper into the underpinnings of human biology and disease, including studies of the body’s ...
