Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

DNA and RNA epigenetics, once thought to be separate, have now been found to work together to fine-tune gene expression. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Chromatin Bioscience, Mediphage Bioceuticals, and Entos Pharmaceuticals are pleased to announce they are receiving advisory ...

In a genetic association study, investigators integrated data from genome-wide association studies of various disorders with retinal transcriptomic data. Findings revealed that the polygenic risk of ...

Researchers have identified specific coupled patterns of brain activity and gene expression that help explain impulsive behavior in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. By analyzing ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

UKRI Innovate UK and NRC IRAP provide funding and advisory support, fostering UK-Canada collaboration in genetic medicine ...

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate ...
