“This is the first detailed study of how and where ORC regulates epigenetics and gene expression in human cells,” said Anindya Dutta, Ph.D., leader of the study and chair of the University of Alabama ...

A new analysis of individual brain cells across several human brain regions reveals subtle but widespread differences in gene activity between male and female brains. This may help explain why some ...

Researchers have identified a distinct and reproducible gene expression program associated with neurotransmission in the living human brain, offering unprecedented insight into the molecular ...

The physical differences between men and women are all too obvious, but the biological divide goes right down to the cellular ...

A new international study suggests that ancient viral DNA embedded in our genome, which were long dismissed as genetic "junk", may actually play powerful roles in regulating gene expression. Focusing ...

Dozens of unexpected genes are strongly linked to type 2 diabetes, new research from The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) shows. The ...

Not all parts of our genetic code are equal, even when they appear to say the same thing. Scientists have discovered that ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

A litter of rat pups, exposed to a common “forever chemical” before birth, grew up to act more impulsively and show ...

This is the first detailed study of how and where ORC subunits regulate epigenetics and gene expression in human cells. “This is the first detailed study of how and where ORC regulates epigenetics and ...
