A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act like molecular anchors. The work confirms these tags actively silence genes, ...
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 ...
An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled across the human genome. The research is published in the journal Nature. The ...
Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...
A graphical representation of how cis-regulatory elements work to turn genes on or off and open possibilities for personalized medicine. Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad ...
An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...
Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA knots that behave less like static quirks and more like hidden switches.
