A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly ...

Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

New method ASPEN accurately maps gene activity from each parent in individual cells, overcoming noise in data. It revealed ...

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 ...

Epigenetics is a rapidly growing field of study that focuses on the heritable changes in gene expression that occur without alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes are caused by ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

It's a common storytelling trope: the stubborn foe who is eventually revealed to be a much-needed friend. Biology has its own version. Cornell researchers have discovered that DNA packaging structures ...

Triglia discusses her research at the intersection of genetics, epigenetics, single-cell genomics and computational biology.

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

Genetics is the study of genes and how they influence characteristics and health. Through a variety of technological methods, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices, it is possible to alter some ...
