From rare diseases to chronic conditions, epigenetic editing unlocks new ways to control gene activity without altering the genetic code.

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

Gene expression analysis and RNA sequencing have transformed our understanding of molecular biology, offering a comprehensive view of transcriptomic landscapes in diverse biological systems. By ...

It's a common storytelling trope: the stubborn foe who is eventually revealed to be a much-needed friend. Biology has its own ...

Gene dysregulation is a hallmark of disease, driving pathogenic phenotypes and poor patient outcomes. RNA binding proteins are often important human gene effectors, controlling RNA synthesis, ...

The genetic code, a universal blueprint for life, governs how DNA and RNA sequences translate into proteins. While its complexity has inspired generations of scientists, its origins remain a topic of ...

Gene editing is now reaching the mainstream, ushering in a new era of genetic manipulation. Traditionally, inserting or deleting entire genes, regulating their expression, and altering specific ...

SMRTS, a smart mRNA system, enables cell‑selective gene expression, expanding the mRNA toolbox for precision cancer therapies.

DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into proteins. This is the central dogma of molecular biology – a mantra taught to every biology undergraduate student to be recalled and expanded ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...
