A new technology allows scientists to map, in single cells, the DNA binding sites of transcription factors and other regulatory proteins that control gene activity, according to a study led by ...

Scientists at UCLA and the University of Toronto have developed an advanced computational tool, called moPepGen, that helps identify previously invisible genetic mutations in proteins, unlocking new ...

Epigenetic aging clocks use DNA methylation patterns to measure biological age and predict health risks across human tissues.

Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make organisms function. But how and why did it come to be the way it is? "We find ...

Genes make us who we are—but are they shaped by chance, natural selection, or something else?

When it comes to cancer, tumor suppressor genes are usually thought of as the "good guys." These genes make proteins that ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine laboratory scientists say they have developed a potential new way to treat a variety of rare genetic diseases marked by too low levels of specific cellular proteins. To boost ...

Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...

Researchers from Princeton's Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics and Computer Science Department have developed a new tool to systematically identify the chromosomal alterations that cause ...
