Research has uncovered a previously unknown, widespread role of ORC in regulating human cell gene expression. New work has revealed a much wider role for origin-recognition complex (ORC) in regulating ...

Northwestern University biophysicists have developed a new computational tool for identifying gene combinations underlying complex illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, and asthma. Unlike single-gene ...

Alida Biosciences’ EpiPlex platform uses robust assay controls and specialized bioinformatics to detect RNA modification, genomic coordinates, and relative quantity.

Using genomic and transcriptional data has greatly improved the understanding of multiple aspects of human physiology. A new paper in PNAS reports on molecular-level associations of co-occurring ...

As winter approaches, humans in the higher latitudes might beat the cold by snuggling up under a pile of blankets or booking a timeshare in sunny Florida. Similarly, some animals cope with seasonal ...

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

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...
