Genes
New gene editing method that can modify a single DNA base in the human genome with absolute precision
Our DNA determines what we look like, including our facial features
University of Maryland-led study finds that worms that fertilize themselves lost one-fourth of their genome, including genes that make sperm competitive
Understanding the mechanisms that turn sets of genes on or off is a fundamental quest in biology, and one that has clinical importance in diseases like cancer, where gene control goes awry
Map will be an important resource for researchers and clinicians studying infectious diseases, the microbiome, vaccine responses, and tissue-specific immunity
DroNc-Seq—a technology that merges single-nucleus RNA sequencing with microfluidics—brings new scale to gene expression studies in complex tissues
‘Orion’ will help researchers identify disease-causing mutations in patients when current methods come up dry.
NIH-funded study results suggest more complex gene interactions and regulation
Scientists at Rutgers and other universities build technology that could lead to rapid discovery of new medicines and biomarkers hidden in genomes
