Researchers report the development of a chemical-based sequencing method to quantify different epigenetic markers simultaneously. Their method, called NT-seq, short for nitrite treatment followed by ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

Genetically modified organisms, also known as GMOs, have been a hot topic of conversation among researchers, producers, government agencies, and the general public for decades. GMOs are banned in some ...

Katie Palmer covers telehealth, clinical artificial intelligence, and the health data economy — with an emphasis on the impacts of digital health care for patients, providers, and businesses. You can ...

A research team from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) led by Professor Xiang David Li from the Department of Chemistry in collaboration with Dr Yuanliang Zhai from the HKU School of Biological ...

A team led by UC Davis poultry scientist Huaijun Zhou has created the first comprehensive map of gene regulation in breeds of chickens. The map could be a resource for finding resistance to H5N1 ...

Instead of requiring personalized gene edits for each patient, the new approach could create a standardized method to use for many diseases.

One way cells can control the activities of their genes is by adding small chemical modifications to the DNA that determine which genes are turned on or off. Methyl groups are one of these chemical ...
