Sox9, a master regulator of cartilage formation, switches its target genes dynamically during embryonic limb development ...

This important study advances a new computational approach to measure and visualize gene expression specificity across different tissues and cell types. The framework is potentially helpful for ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...

Not all parts of our genetic code are equal, even when they appear to say the same thing. Scientists have discovered that ...

Cars patched up after a wreck may look fixed—but never run quite as before. The same may hold true for chromatin, according to a study published in Science on November 6. In response to double-strand ...

Humans have about 3 billion DNA bases in their genetic makeup. However, most of it does not encode for protein.

Why do brain disorders affect men and women differently? Researchers used RNA sequencing to identify 3,000 sex-biased genes ...
