For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event ...

In particular, when the gene at a maternally imprinted locus is expressed ... X chromosome inactivation, DNA methylation, and the various transcription factors involved, much needs to be ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed a vector that integrates the Cre enzyme gene with the specific DNA ...

DNA is the molecule that holds the instructions for all living things. DNA achieves this feat of storing, coding and transferring biological information though its unique structure. Replication of ...

Before we understood that DNA was the genetic code, scientists knew that bacteria transferred it between cells. In 1928, 25 years before the structure of DNA was solved, British bacteriologist ...

CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell.

Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we mapped thousands of expression quantitative trait loci in yeast, including a variant in GPA1 that influences gene expression, cell-cycle occupancy, and mating ...
