Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

Early detection of declining forest health is critical for the timely intervention and treatment of droughted and diseased ...

Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

Traditionally, cancer diagnosis and prognosis rely heavily on histopathological examination, where tissue morphology is evaluated under the microscope. However, the molecular ...

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 ...

PCR-based techniques have transformed how scientists analyze transcripts’ translational applications in cancer and ...

A new study shows human immune systems differ across populations, raising new questions for medicine and global drug research ...

Inducible promoters provide remarkable utility when sustained transgene expression compromises plant development or agronomic performance.

Scientists studying Alzheimer’s in African Americans have uncovered a striking genetic clue that may cut across racial lines.

Unlike animals, plants generate most organs after embryogenesis through stem cell–driven meristems, enabling lifelong growth ...

Genetics is the study of genes and how they influence characteristics and health. Through a variety of technological methods, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices, it is possible to alter some ...
