A cell on its way to becoming skin pigment, blood, or nerve does not make that shift alone. It responds to a dense web of ...

A new AI framework estimates how cells change over time and infers the gene regulatory networks controlling those changes.

Genome-wide association studies have linked thousands of genetic variants to disease, yet most remain disconnected from drug-relevant biology. Neville Sanjana, Professor at New York University and ...

University of Navarra (Spain) researchers have developed RNACOREX, a new open-source software capable of identifying gene regulation networks with applications in cancer survival analysis. The tool, ...

This voice experience is generated by AI. Learn more. This voice experience is generated by AI. Learn more. Alternative splicing—the way cells edit gene messages—forms a second, independent layer of ...

Transposable elements (TEs) are repetitive DNA sequences that originate from ancient viruses and currently make up nearly half of the human genome. While TEs were once labeled as “junk” DNA with no ...

Scientists discovered 2.3 million conserved non-coding sequences—some hundreds of millions of years old—using Conservatory, a new comparative plant genomics platform. Plant genomes often have ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning organism also requires precise instructions about when, where, and how ...

Heat and drought stress are major environmental factors that severely limit crop growth, productivity, and global food security. As climate change ...

What are the first steps that chart the path for a cell to become a blood cell, neuron cell, or pigment cell? Scientists have developed increasingly powerful tools to track those changes, but one ...
