The immune system depends on molecular alarms that detect danger inside cells. One of these alarms is STING, short for ...

The chemicals flowing through your bloodstream tell a story that your DNA alone cannot. They reflect what you eat, how your ...

Gene mapping is the discipline devoted to determining the linear order and chromosomal coordinates of genes and other genomic elements. Traditional genetic mapping employs linkage analysis, in which ...

Sometimes, a small error in the sequence of DNA can lead to a very serious disease. Scientists have identified many mutations that arise in a single gene to cause an ...

Fig. 2: SuShiE outperforms other methods, estimates accurate effect size correlation and boosts higher power of TWAS in realistic simulations. Overall, SuShiE outperforms existing approaches in ...

Spoorti Gandhadmath carefully placed 3.5-inch (8.9-centimeter) pots on a shelf in a growth chamber. Within seven days of ...

A major cardiovascular risk factor is thickening of the heart walls (hypertrophy), which can result from high blood pressure—but is also linked to inherited diseases of the heart which can lead to ...

Understanding how cells turn genes on and off is one of biology's most enduring mysteries. Now, a new technology developed by chemist Brian Liau and his collaborators at Harvard offers an ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to reveal disruptions in gene function in three brain regions of patients with ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have completed a massive genetic study that identifies key biological drivers of cocaine addiction, uncovering a potential new target for ...

To learn more about the biology underlying cocaine addiction, researchers analyzed almost 900 rats to map the genetic basis ...
