From memory formation to disease prevention, scientists are uncovering how chromatin structure, enzyme evolution, and epigenetic regulators orchestrate gene activity. Recent breakthroughs reveal how ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible to the cellular machinery that works to express the right genes at the ...

Researchers have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The artificial genes can build intracellular structures through a cascading sequence that builds ...

In the microscopic world inside a stem cell, some of the most important decisions about life’s earliest stages come down to only a handful of molecules. A new study from UNC Charlotte shows that just ...

In a new study published in Genes & Development, research led by Dr. Lila Allou at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London and Professor Stefan Mundlos at the Max Planck Institute for ...
