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 have uncovered genetic elements that drive the rapid development of marsupials' facial features.

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 ...

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

MIT engineers designed a control mechanism, known as DIAL, that allows them to establish a desired protein level, or set point, for any synthetic gene circuit.

Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is turned on, the production of proteins or other substances is promoted; when ...
