Humans have it. So does Drosophila. But not yeast. That "it" is a small pause at the start of gene activity—a brief molecular halt that may have helped life evolve from simple cells to complex animals ...

Agriculture, from the outset, has been made possible by humans tweaking the genes of plants to make them grow faster, produce ...

University of Navarra (Spain) researchers have developed RNACOREX, a new open-source software capable of identifying gene regulation networks with applications in cancer survival analysis.

A newly revealed molecular tug-of-war may have implications for better understanding how a multitude of diseases and ...

If something similar occurs in humans, and given growing evidence that the gut microbiome matters for health, genetic ...

Your "roommate's" genes could be influencing the bacteria living in your gut, and vice versa, according to a study of rats ...

Obesity is not a single disease. New research shows distinct biological phenotypes that explain why weight gain and treatment ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...

One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet still gives rise to a ...
