Cancer’s strongest gene switches push DNA into damaging overdrive, creating repeated breaks and repairs that may fuel tumor ...

When the Nanog gene (green region) is inactive, one of the three enhancer regions is spatially far away. When active, the same enhancer region makes close contact, interacting with the other enhancers ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to reveal disruptions in gene function in three brain regions of patients with ...

The protein-coding fraction of our genome is like the cast of a Broadway production. Their performance is critical to the success of Biology: The Musical, but a much larger production crew helps ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. William A. Haseltine, Ph.D., covers genomics and regenerative medicine Removing non-essential regions like E3 allows additional ...

Researchers disagree on the number of genes in the human genome, in part because what exactly a gene is can be difficult to determine. At the turn of the century, while awaiting the completion of the ...
