Researchers trained an AI tool on gene-expression data from thousands of tumor samples, focusing on just 71 glycan-building ...

Phytochelatin synthases (PCSs) produce phytochelatins—tiny, cysteine-rich peptides that bind and neutralize toxic metal ions ...

MIT engineers designed a control mechanism, known as DIAL, that allows them to establish a desired protein level, or set point, for any synthetic gene circuit.

EPFL researchers have uncovered how transcription factor dosage reshapes cell identity, showing that even small differences ...

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

Molecular biologists have long believed that the beginning of a gene launched the process of transcription—the process by ...

A new study has brought scientists one step further in the direction of developing a cure for a brutal group of rare brain ...

Scientists built a complete wheat gene map showing how different genes control plant growth and stress response.

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...
