The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, ...

We know the genes, but not their functions—to resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research ...

No gene acts alone: interacting variants and protein partnerships can worsen, mask or even rescue disease risk, demanding ...

We know the genes, but not their functions.” To resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research ...

Biologists have provided new insights on a longstanding puzzle in biology: How complex organisms arise from a single fertilized cell. Producing a new 'gene atlas' with 4-D imaging, the researchers ...

In modern functional genomics, understanding how specific genes control cellular behavior requires both targeted intervention and high-resolution analysis. That’s where Perturb-Seq comes in—a method ...

Most people recognize Alzheimer's from its devastating symptoms such as memory loss, while new drugs target pathological aspects of disease manifestations, such as plaques of amyloid proteins. Now a ...
