Repositioning genes awakens fetal hemoglobin to treat disease. CRISPR editing may change future gene therapy. Researchers ...

Chunks of flipped DNA appear to accelerate evolution in fish. This discovery could reshape our understanding of how ...

Using nuclear magnetic resonance, the binding site for five compounds has been mapped to a common locus at the C-terminal end of the LytTR domain, a site known to be important for DNA binding activity ...

This study provides important findings on the neural circuits underlying dishabituation of the olfactory avoidance response in Drosophila. The data as presented provide solid evidence that the ...

Abscisic acid (ABA) prevents cotyledon opening in the dark by modulating splicing through serine/arginine-rich (SR) proteins RS40 and RS41. Light reduces ABA levels, releasing this repression to allow ...

Researchers have identified several uncharacterized chromatin factors and a gene that are involved in DNA repair.

Comparative genomics revealed genetic differences between wild and domestic animals, highlighting traits influenced by human selection.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a severe autoimmune disease with complex genetic causes. Some genetic contributors have been ...

By uncovering RNA’s previously unknown function to repair DNA damage, our findings show how RNA may directly contribute to the stability and evolution of the genome. It’s not merely a passive ...
