A team of researchers has identified a mechanism that regulates the production of two different proteins from the same gene.

This research is important in helping to increase our understanding of how genes operate in the formation of a new individual, which in turn adds to our understanding of birth defects, cancer and ...

Leibniz Institute for Primate Research and the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics have discovered ...

Genetic engineering in non-human primates has long been limited by the need for virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, ...

Lurking within the genomes of nearly all species--including plants, fungi, and even humans--are genes that are passed from generation to generation with no clear benefit to the organism. Called ...

A team of researchers from the Institute for Neurosciences, a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Miguel Hernández University (UMH) of Elche, in collaboration with ...

"Our knowledge base allows scientists to go from just a list of genes to an understanding of their biological functions, including what might be useful for treatment," said Paul D. Thomas ...

Resilience relies on the brain’s ability to regulate emotion, adapt, and recover. Myelin plasticity helps speed up and stabilize resilient brain responses. Genes like FKBP5 and BDNF affect how people ...

In an era of open data, genome-wide association studies have become entangled with efforts to prove Black inferiority.

Untangling the functional organisation of a brain region crucial for memory and learning helps reveal how individual differences are linked to variations in recall ability, aging and dopamine receptor ...
