De novo genes are evolution’s magic trick—new genes appearing from non-coding DNA, much like a rabbit pulled from a hat. Once considered impossible, de novo genes have been identified in Drosophila ...
Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...
Researchers are investigating the role of non-coding DNA, or junk DNA, in regulating astrocytes, brain cells involved in ...
Researchers at the Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Yale University, have used artificial intelligence (AI) to design thousands of new DNA switches that can ...
The working model shows the known and novel functions of OTULIN. OTULIN regulates proteostasis, cell death, inflammation, and cell survival/development. The sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (sAD2.1) iPSC ...
What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...
A new study shows human immune systems differ across populations, raising new questions for medicine and global drug research ...
