Researchers hope the AI tool will aid in the development of cell-specific gene therapies to treat diseases such as cancer.

Our scientists study how the organization of our chromatin - the DNA packaging molecules that help organize our DNA - regulate gene expression. They seek to understand how cells modulate gene ...

One regulatory process of scientific interest is called epigenetic gene regulation. During this regulatory process, genes are altered in a "silent" manner, in that the genes are turned "on" or ...

Imprinting is yet another process involved in eukaryotic gene regulation; this process involves the silencing of one of the two alleles of a gene for a cell's entire life span. Imprinting affects ...

In other words, these regulatory mechanisms control gene expression. But why is this control necessary? To better understand the answer to this question, consider the example of a skin cell and a ...

Gene Drives, Malaria, and the Future of Nature.” Bold ideas in science research used to thrill ... Nations agreement on biodiversity calls for regulation but not a ban. But the opposition ...
