Various sayings equate going fast with going alone. But none of them apply to the gene expression journey described by a research team from the University of Göttingen. The team, led by Heike Krebber, ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too ...

Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

Gene expression analysis and RNA sequencing have transformed our understanding of molecular biology, offering a comprehensive view of transcriptomic landscapes in diverse biological systems. By ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of RNA molecule that do not carry instructions to make proteins. Instead, they influence how other genes are expressed. There are tens of thousands of lncRNAs ...

SMRTS, a smart mRNA system, enables cell‑selective gene expression, expanding the mRNA toolbox for precision cancer therapies.

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...
