Researchers uncover how 12-hour biological rhythms operate in mammals, exploring their unique mechanisms and potential ...

Our evolutionary advantage over our primate relatives may come down to accelerated genetic expression in just six types of brain cells.

Researchers still do not have a comprehensive picture of the factors that influence gene expression in human cancers.

Researchers insert a 40,000-year-old Neanderthal variant of the GLI3 gene into mice, altering their bone structure without ...

Unlike existing treatments for Alzheimer’s that target unhealthy protein deposits, the new approach developed at UC San Diego ...

Two of the traits that set modern humans apart from non-human primates are taller stature and a higher basal metabolic rate. Publishing in Cell Genomics, researchers have identified a genetic variant ...

Life runs on information. In living systems, that information takes two main forms: the genome and the epigenome.

Two of the traits that set modern humans apart from non-human primates ... including their effect on protein sequences and gene expression, a specific regulatory variant of ACSF3 emerged as ...

However, many human diseases stem from faulty gene expression that is cell-type specific, for which there might never be a perfect protein drug candidate. Gene expression is controlled by ...
