Life Sciences Center (LSC) have discovered a unique way for cells to silence specific genes without cutting DNA. This ...

Some sequences in the genome cause genes to be switched on or off. Until now, each of these gene switches, or so-called enhancers, was thought to have its own place on the DNA. Different enhancers are ...

Gene therapy for some diseases, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), can be tricky because the needed gene is often ...

Ring Chromosome 20 Syndrome, or (R)20, is an ultra-rare form of epilepsy with a devastating impact – yet despite huge leaps forward in gene sequencing in recent years, diagnoses are going down ...

New research shows how the Eurasian common shrew (Sorex araneus) changes its brain and bodily size throughout the year. The ...
