WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers interested in improving a given trait in plants can now identify the genes that regulate the trait’s expression without doing any experiments. The Purdue-USDA team ...

An extraction-free kit enables gene expression analysis directly from hepatocyte lysates, delivering results in 75 minutes with sensitivity comparable to RNA purification.

Delivery of therapeutic genes is essential for gene therapy. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are a prime vector for carrying ...

New research suggests that alternative splicing may have an even greater influence on biology than just by creating new protein isoforms. The study shows that the biggest impact of alternative ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular senescence—a state where cells stop dividing but remain metabolically active.

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...
