A Phase I/IIa clinical trials co-led by Linda Laux, MD, from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, show that ...

Researchers at the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology have uncovered new evidence that two major types of gene-controlling DNA sequences, promoters and enhancers, operate with a shared ...

Gene regulation is far more predictable than previously believed, scientists conclude after developing the deep learning model PARM. This might bring an end to a scientific mystery: how genes know ...

Most of us know that our genes determine our traits—but that's only half the story. The field of epigenetics has reshaped how scientists think about gene regulation, revealing layers of control beyond ...

If autoimmune disease runs in your family, you may have been told some version of this: It’s in your genes. But science is revealing a deeper layer of complexity; genetic predisposition influences ...

A massive genomics effort has identified thousands of single nucleotide non-coding variants, which alter gene activity, that link to disease and health.
