DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

Genes encode proteins and proteins dictate cell function. Therefore, the thousands of genes expressed in a particular cell determine what that cell can do. Moreover, each step in the flow of ...

Genetics is the study of genes and how they influence characteristics and health. Through a variety of technological methods, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices, it is possible to alter some ...

Scientists at City of Hope have uncovered a gene called SMOC1 that plays a surprising role in the development of type 2 ...

A study uncovers a cardiotoxic gene marker in cancer survivors linked to heart disease risk. Find out more about the results.

The transformation from a normal tissue to a tumor is marked by a dramatic upheaval in gene expression, with thousands of genes showing altered expression ...

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

As winter approaches, humans in the higher latitudes might beat the cold by snuggling up under a pile of blankets or booking a timeshare in sunny Florida. Similarly, some animals cope with seasonal ...

A study led by Vincenzo Condello and Christofer Juhlin, has been published in Endocrine Pathology. The researchers explored ...
