Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

Researchers identify a gene expression program in the living human brain that tracks with real-time neurotransmission, ...

Scientists have long observed that embryos of different species within a phylum look quite distinct at early and late ...

Researchers have identified a distinct and reproducible gene expression program associated with neurotransmission in the ...

Researchers from two labs in the Human Biology division at Fred Hutch Cancer Center recently published two studies aimed at ...

The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function. Epigenetic features are just one way that cells control gene expression, ...

New research suggests that alternative splicing may have an even greater influence on biology than just by creating new protein isoforms. The study shows that the biggest impact of alternative ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Christopher H. Contag explores how tissue regeneration involves organized interactions beyond just cell replacement, ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Biobots, whose growing line of variants started with xenobots, are fascinating tiny self-powered living robots built ...
