A Genome Medicine study finds differential expression outperforms allele-specific analysis for most genes, while CRISPR ...
A microscopic organism from a freshwater pond is playing by a different set of genetic rules. The newly identified protist, Oligohymenophorea sp. PL0344, which scientists stumbled across while ...
For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...
A long-overlooked stretch of the human genome appears to play a distinct role in shaping the social and stereotypic repetitive behaviors that define autism spectrum disorder (ASD), without affecting ...
A newly discovered code within DNA -- coined 'spatial grammar' -- holds a key to understanding how gene activity is encoded in the human genome. This breakthrough finding revealed a long-postulated ...
Sequencing the human genome was once thought to be the key to understanding genetic diversity and disease, but gene ...
A small Russian case-control study reports preliminary associations between MALAT1 and NEAT1 gene variants and polycystic ...
Millions of years ago, a virus infected the ancestors of chimpanzees and left behind a genetic souvenir. Humans never ...
A study of 327,642 participants identified genetic variants and genes linked to chronic pain, highlighting neuronal and ...
