In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be helpful for learners to begin with the linear presentation of how ...

With the sequencing of the first genomes, identifying the location and structure of protein-coding genes, called gene annotation, became a central task. Yet gene annotation in eukaryotes remains ...

Joint research led by Yutaro Shuto, Ryoya Nakagawa, and Osamu Nureki of the University of Tokyo determined the spatial structure of various processes of a novel gene-editing tool called "prime editor.

Researchers have identified 34,364 people in Pakistan who carry at least one gene that has been completely knocked out by ...

This study is led by Dr. Yue Zhou (State Key Laboratory of Gene Function and Modulation Research, School of Advanced Agricultural Sciences, Peking-Tsinghua Center for Life Sciences, Peking University, ...

The precise control of gene expression is required for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and proper cellular function, and the declining control of gene expression with age is considered a major ...
