Plant cells host a variety of organelles segregated into distinct functional groups. Among those organelles, the nucleus, ...

Elizabeth Kellogg, PhD, St. Jude Department of Structural Biology, used cryo-EM to study the evolutionary journey of Fanzor2, a compact eukaryotic genome-editing protein with huge potential. (MEMPHIS, ...

In back-to-back studies published in Nature, researchers from Purdue University and Columbia University report a naturally ...

Researchers at the Texas A&M University School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) have developed a new virtual tool that will allow scientists to study the function of genes more ...

Researchers developed theoretical foundations for methods that could identify the best way to aggregate genes into modules and efficiently learn the underlying cause-and-effect relationships among ...

Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

Thanks to increasingly efficient and affordable gene sequencing technologies, we can now chart our genetic blueprint in unprecedented detail. But what does each gene do? Of the roughly 20,000 genes ...
