A new study finds the proteins responsible for controlling which genes are expressed in a genome do more than simply turn a ...

Researchers found sex differences in the activity of genes within cortical neurons (pictured) and other brain cells. Credit: ...

This important study advances a new computational approach to measure and visualize gene expression specificity across different tissues and cell types. The framework is potentially helpful for ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...

Using genomic and transcriptional data has greatly improved the understanding of multiple aspects of human physiology. A new paper in PNAS reports on molecular-level associations of co-occurring ...

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are actively expressed at any given time in a cell determines what type of cell it ...

A robust and quantitative map links chromatin modification and gene expression of cells during zebrafish embryogenesis.

A new analysis of individual brain cells across several human brain regions reveals subtle but widespread differences in gene activity between male and female brains. This may help explain why some ...

Studies have linked artificial sweeteners with gastrointestinal and neurological issues, including headache, and with ...
