The duration of expression of the gene Cdx2 is tightly regulated by a newly identified DNA sequence element called an “attenuator.” ...

The study aims to identify patterns of changes in gene activity during insect development that undergo complete metamorphosis from egg to larva, pupa, and adult. The results were published in the ...

Light pollution, or artificial light at night (ALAN), is a widespread phenomenon in areas with dense human populations.

Scientists have found 473 human genes that behave like on/off switches, revealing links to cancer, immune conditions, and ...

A team of scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) has uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that ...

Tomato development relies on intricate gene regulation, with one of the key genes, SlHAM4, emerging as a critical factor in ...

Fred Hutch researchers have created a gene-expression map of glial cells of the tiny worm, C. elegans, adding the missing ...

While physical activity is known to slow cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease, many patients are unable to exercise due ...
