Scientists usually study the molecular machinery that controls gene expression from the perspective of a linear, two-dimensional genome—even though DNA and its bound proteins function in three ...

Salk Institute researchers find new mode of epigenetic targeting, showing for the first time that genetic sequences can direct new DNA methylation patterns in plants LA JOLLA (November 21, 2025)—All ...

The authors conclude that mRNA vaccines “induce a gene-altering [mode of action], reprogramming host expression programs” that go far beyond inflammatory responses to Spike protein. Effects include ...

“This is the first detailed study of how and where ORC regulates epigenetics and gene expression in human cells,” said Anindya Dutta, Ph.D., leader of the study and chair of the University of Alabama ...

An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled across the human genome. The research is published in the journal Nature. The ...

A new international study suggests that ancient viral DNA embedded in our genome, which were long dismissed as genetic "junk," may actually play powerful roles in regulating gene expression. Focusing ...

GLP-1s are building a reputation as "wonder drugs." First characterized for their ability to improve insulin release and ...

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 ...

Epigenome editing has followed a similar path, in that more recent technological breakthroughs have enabled scientists to apply the discoveries made in previous decades. Epigenome editing performs a ...

To further the quantitative understanding of cellular decision making, Dr. Gregory Reeves and his team in the chemical engineering department have worked to interpret how a transcription factor ...
