A new study finds that at least one Archaea has surprisingly flexibility when interpreting genetic code, which goes against a ...
Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...
What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too ...
The study shows that a long non-coding RNA called CISTR-ACT acts as a master regulator of cell size, influencing how large or ...
The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 ...
Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...
A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...
A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and collaborators at the University of Bristol, KU Leuven, and the NIHR BioResource, have identified a neurodevelopmental disorder, caused ...
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and others have identified a neurodevelopmental disorder, caused by mutations in a single gene, that affects tens of thousands of people ...
