AI-powered gene maps reveal the hidden control centers driving Alzheimer’s disease — and point to new hope for treatment.

Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a powerful new AI tool called Splam that can identify where splicing occurs in genes—an advance that could help scientists analyze genetic data with greater ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells ...

This article was review by Paul Sternberg, PhD from the California Institute of Technology and the Gene Ontology Consortium (GOC). Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. The ...

Researchers have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The artificial genes can build intracellular structures through a cascading sequence that builds ...

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 ...

A new gene therapy can reverse the effects of heart failure and restore heart function in a large animal model. The therapy increases the amount of blood the heart can pump and dramatically improves ...

NASA scientists have discovered a way to identify the gene functions of all of an organism’s genes simultaneously by using unique DNA sequences or ‘bar codes.’ Scientists at NASA Ames Research Center, ...

Men tend to lose the Y chromosome from their cells as they age. But because the Y bears few genes other than for male ...

A duplicated gene evolved into a switch that determines sex in frogs, revealing how evolution can safely reshape critical ...
