The 92-year-old bacterial geneticist who helped pioneer the study of gene regulation has passed away.
Previously enigmatic circular RNAs have been found to influence gene expression by binding to and blocking another class of regulatory RNA, the microRNAs.
Scientists identify a false assumption of standard gene expression analyses that could lead to the reappraisal of many prior studies.
Researchers create the first atlas of gene activity in the human brain.
Publicly accessible databases now store nearly 1 million gene-expression datasets, giving researchers a robust resource for discovery.
Remarkable findings of ingested plant miRNA in animal liver and blood draw speculation about the study’s validity.
Exercise causes short-term changes in DNA methylation and gene expression in muscle tissue that may have implications for type 2 diabetes.
Researchers uncover a self-destruct mechanism that determines the lifespan of messenger RNA molecules.
Gene expression controlled from afar may have spurred the spurt in brain evolution that led to modern humans.
