Duke University Medical Center-led research has identified a human-specific DNA enhancer that regulates neural progenitor proliferation and cortical size. Small genetic changes in HARE5 amplify a key ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

New Study Reveals How the C/G Fusion Hijacks DNA Methylation and Chromatin Architecture to Drive Aggressive AMKL Pediatric ...

An international team, including researchers from HSE University, has created the first comprehensive map of ...

Every cell in our body contains the same DNA, yet liver cells are different from brain cells, and skin cells differ from muscle cells. What determines these differences? It all comes down to gene ...

Researchers have revealed a new mechanism underlying how spatial distance between specific regions of DNA is linked to bursts of gene activity. Using advanced cell imaging techniques and computer ...

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...

Researchers at Kyushu University have revealed how spatial distance between specific regions of DNA is linked to bursts of gene activity. Using advanced cell imaging techniques and computer modeling, ...

For stem cells to differentiate into the appropriate cell-type, transcription factors (TFs) must be tailored to highly specific expression patterns of lineage-specific genes. Abnormalities in the ...
