Some sequences in the genome cause genes to be switched on or off. Until now, each of these gene switches, or so-called enhancers, was thought to have its own place on the DNA. Different enhancers are ...

Scientists have discovered that coordination between basic cellular processes is lost with increasing age. Gene regulation in our cells -- the decision when which proteins are produced for the various ...

Professor Carsten Carlberg has published a comprehensive new textbook, Gene Regulation and Epigenetics: How Science Works, presenting the current understanding of gene regulation and epigenomics.

Our genes contain all the instructions our body needs to function, but their expression must be finely regulated to guarantee that each cell performs its role optimally. This is where DNA and RNA ...

KYOTO – An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled across the human genome. A new study has comprehensively analyzed ...

The EU has relaxed its rules on gene-editing. Now, only some gene-edited crops are regulated by the stringent GMO directive.

Gene editing of plant DNA has the potential to produce crops with increased performance and resilience, but it can take a ...

Could a viral infection you experience today cause mental health disorders for generations of your descendants? Absolutely.

Regulation to permit gene-edited plants has just passed in European Parliament, allowing genetic changes that don’t introduce foreign DNA. The new rules aim to improve the food system by allowing gene ...
