Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

Professor Carsten Carlberg has published a comprehensive new textbook, Gene Regulation and Epigenetics: How Science Works, presenting the current understanding of gene regulation and epigenomics.

Livestock breeders could soon have more tools to improve the health and quality of their animals, thanks to a recent study ...

To function properly, the genetic material is highly organized into loop structures that often bring together widely separated sections of the genome critical to the regulation of gene activity.

A recent study led to the development of a powerful epigenetic editing technology. The system unlocks the ability to precisely program chromatin modifications at any specific position in the genome, ...

Small RNAs play a major role in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Specific RNA profiles show distinct changes in the brain, especially in younger people.

A new genome editing tool—minimal versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT)—can achieve simultaneous and orthogonal gene editing and gene regulation in human cells. The coming together of ...

Tools like CRISPR-Cas9 are creating new opportunities for innovation in St. Louis, as well as risks around IP protection and regulation.
