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 ...

This study presents SynaptoGen, a differentiable extension of connectome models that links gene expression, protein-protein interaction probabilities, synaptic multiplicity, and synaptic weights, and ...

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

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

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 ...

A multi-omics study identifies causal genes and biological subtypes of long COVID, revealing new therapeutic targets for ...

In the years since they were first developed, microarrays have been applied to an extraordinary range of situations. But in 2001, some researchers began to voice concerns that the increasingly ...

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

A shared molecular signature of Alzheimer’s appears across populations once studied in isolation. Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects African Americans (AA) at roughly twice the rate seen among ...

Genetics is the study of genes and how they influence characteristics and health. Through a variety of technological methods, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices, it is possible to alter some ...

Oxygen is vital to the body. When levels of oxygen in the blood get too low, serious problems can arise. This can happen as people recover from some disorders that can drive oxygen levels down, such ...
