"This map would reveal the free amount of Dorsal in the nucleus. Once we create it, others would be free to use it so they can advance their understanding of gene regulation." The relationship between ...

Dustin Vidrine's sight is disappearing — shrinking, really. He has retinitis pigmentosa, a rare, inherited eye disease that runs in his family. By the time he was in his 20s, he noticed that his ...

Scientists usually study the molecular machinery that controls gene expression from the perspective of a linear, two-dimensional genome—even though DNA and its bound proteins function in three ...

Long-read genome sequencing reveals autism gene variants and structural changes, helping explain missing heritability and advancing precision diagnostics.

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum ...

The tiny Amazon molly (Poecilia formosa) has always fascinated researchers because, according to the rules of evolution, it shouldn't have survived as a species, let alone thrive as a species for over ...

For decades, scientists believed a fertilized egg’s DNA began as a shapeless mass, only organizing itself once the embryo switched on its genes. But new research reveals that the genome is already ...

A chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.

Researchers headed by a team at the University of California, Irvine, Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health have built what they suggest is the first cell type-specific gene regulatory ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using long-read whole genome sequencing (LR-WGS), an ...

In a sweeping new map of the adult Drosophila melanogaster brain, researchers at the University of Oxford found that mature ...

The origin of many diseases begins at the cellular level and involves multiple molecular interactions. However, previous methods have struggled to accurately observe changes in individual cells.
