A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly developed form of CRISPR at UNSW Sydney points to a safer way of treating ...

Researchers have uncovered nearly 150 hidden DNA “switches” inside brain support cells that control the activity of genes ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

Scientists map the true nature of the genome with its loops and folds in four dimensions across time and space.

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

Although it also performs some functions in men, estrogen, the main female sex hormone, is involved in a myriad of processes, ...

The South American lungfish genome, the largest animal genome sequenced at 91 billion base pairs, has been fully decoded.

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

Originally classified as ‘junk DNA’, genomic regions which are transcribed into RNAs that do not serve as template for protein production have attracted increasing attention in the last two decades.

UNSW scientists have uncovered the hidden switches in DNA, revealing new insights into Alzheimer's disease.When most of us think of DNA, we have a ...
