Melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer, with an enhanced ability to metastasize to distant organs via the hematogenous or lymphatic circulation. 1 Although recently developed inhibitors of ...

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 ...

Gene function in mammals can be quickly and reliably predicted using a high-throughput analysis of patterns of RNA expression, according to an article published today in Journal of Biology. This ...

Researchers have developed a drug-based genetic platform that enables scientists to track genetic manipulations in the laboratory fruit fly without having to screen thousands of individual flies.

Researchers at the Texas A&M University School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) have developed a new virtual tool that will allow scientists to study the function of genes more ...

Different epigenetic configurations allow one genome to develop into multiple cell types. Although the rules governing what epigenetic features confer gene expression are increasingly being understood ...

Researchers have developed a human model in which they use organoids, or mini organs, to study the function of specific genes that are mutated in liver cancer. Using this method, they have found that ...

Studying the role genes play on basic biology and disease is now easier, faster and more efficient, say researchers at Baylor College of Medicine. They have developed a drug-based genetic platform ...

The pandemic has elicited an unprecedented public interest in the human immune system and its role in fighting off viral infections. While the antibodies and specialized cells that compose our immune ...

The UB team that discovered how a gene found in 75% of us protects against neurodegeneration has now found that this same gene enhances immune function as well. The new findings were published in ...

People who carry a bitter 'supertaster gene' have been linked to various health conditions including bipolar disorder and poor kidney function, University of Queensland researchers have found. Using ...
