Researchers have created a novel imaging-technology combination that can capture gene activity in individual bacteria in ...

A combination of human pedigree analysis and fruit fly genetics has identified a gene variant that appears to prevent PIGA-CDG, a rare but serious seizure disorder. The findings could ultimately lead ...

Oxytocin receptor (Oxtr) signaling influences complex social behaviors in diverse species, including social monogamy in prairie voles. How Oxtr regulates specific components of social attachment ...

This is an important and solid study that examines the role of TFAM, a protein that helps maintain mtDNA, in mtDNA mutator mice. The authors have demonstrated that TFAM's counteractive role in mtDNA ...

Aneuploidy is frequent in cancer, but in vitro it triggers multiple cellular stresses and often delays proliferation. Through ...

NEW YORK — MRC Holland said on Thursday that its blood-based assay for Temple, Kagami-Ogata, and Russell-Silver syndromes has received certification under Europe's In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR ...

A significant advancement in knowledge of the link between cognition and genetics has been made thanks to a study led by Université de Montréal graduate students Guillaume Huguet and Thomas Renne, ...

Thanks to DNA mapping, these discoveries pave the way for a broader understanding of the ways in which genetic alterations ...

did not seem to impact the gene expression of the rest of the cell. The researchers suggest that human genomes are extremely tolerant of structural variation, including variants that change the ...

Older female mice show poor spatial memory when their paternal X chromosome is inactive and only the maternal copy is active. This phenomenon could be responsible for variation in age-related ...

A considerable and unanticipated plasticity of the human genome, manifested as inter-individual copy number variation ... and threshold effect of gene-expression variation 72.

Abused children, for instance, have been found to show opposite to expected gene expression (high expression of genes that normally have low activity, and vice versa). Childhood maltreatment also ...
