Research from UChicago dissects how a single genetic switch helps butterflies mimic wing patterns of other species to protect ...

A joint research team has discovered a new molecular switch that determines when plant leaves begin to age. The research team has identified for the first time a new mechanism in which RNA made from ...

Our experiences leave traces in the brain, stored in small groups of cells called "engrams". Engrams are thought to hold the ...

Researchers have discovered that a gene called CHRNA3 plays a key role in determining alcohol sensitivity, helping explain why some people tolerate alcohol better than others.

Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) report that the gene, CHRNA3, acts as a key regulator of alcohol sensitivity. Published in ...

Metabolism guides the activation states of regulatory T cells, the immune cells that prevent inappropriate activation of the ...

An international research team led by Hiroki Shibuya at RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) in Japan has ...

Arc Institute, Gladstone Institutes, and University of California, San Francisco, scientists have developed an epigenetic ...

For decades, synthetic biologists have been developing gene circuits that can be transferred into cells for applications such as reprogramming a stem cell into a neuron or generating a protein that ...

Gene regulatory network (GRN) inference is a central task in systems biology. However, due to the noisy nature of gene expression data and the diversity of regulatory structures, accurate GRN ...
