From operon prediction to visualizing DNA tangles, AI is transforming how we study and teach genetics. Students, researchers, and educators now have access to interactive simulations, adaptive tutors, ...

Scientists have uncovered evidence supporting a mechanism in which transposable elements (TEs), once considered ...

Researchers describe minimal versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT). Capable of precisely editing genes, activating gene expression and repressing genes all at the same time, the technology ...

A new study reveals how transposable elements (TEs) expanded gene regulation during brain evolution, shaping modern neural ...

Biologists have long puzzled over why organisms with similar numbers of protein-coding genes can differ so dramatically in ...

Gene syntax alters DNA supercoiling to amplify or suppress nearby genes. This could improve the effectiveness of gene ...

The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has emerged as a powerful system to dissect the fundamental principles of gene regulation in eukaryotes. Its simple genome, well-conserved cell-cycle ...

From the TATA box to alternative splicing and noncoding RNAs, scientists are uncovering the intricate choreography that controls gene expression. These molecular mechanisms determine when, where, and ...

An experimental gene therapy appears safe and highly effective for restoring hearing to people born with a rare form of deafness, researchers reported Wednesday. The study, the largest and longest to ...

The treatment, the first of its kind, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration on Thursday. “Our baby was born deaf, and now he can hear,” said one parent. By Gina Kolata The Food and Drug ...

Plant molecular evolution offers key insights into how coding and regulatory changes shape the diversity of form and function across the plant kingdom. The ...
