All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their ...

New research has investigated the mechanism by which bivalency functions to poise genes for expression during cell differentiation, providing insight into a long-standing paradigm in the regulation of ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine’s Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center and Human Genome Sequencing Center investigated the extent to which forms of genetic variation called germline or ...

Researchers still do not have a comprehensive picture of the factors that influence gene expression in human cancers. Understanding gene expression in cancer is important because it can reveal how the ...

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 ...

Despite spanning about three billion base pairs, the human genome is wrapped up tight in a highly organized fashion in the nucleus. This coordinated structure, in part, enables the cell to regulate ...

Nutrigenomics is the scientific field that studies how human genetics and nutrition interact and how they affect a person’s health, well-being, and proneness to disease. The body responds to food and ...

Gene expression analysis is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the rapid evolution of advanced omics technologies. From single-cell ...
