Compared with human-specific transcriptional factors, human-specific lncRNAs identified upon human lncRNAs’ orthologs in mammals have greatly evolved DNA-binding sites in archaic and modern humans in ...

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 ...

A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant ...

Research is shaking up how we think about evolution, suggesting there's a level of predictability influenced by genes and ...

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

More than 2.3 million ancient genetic switches discovered in plants reveal how key growth controls endured 300 million years ...

Researchers have identified a distinct and reproducible gene expression program associated with neurotransmission in the ...

Inside a diseased cell, the genes are in chaos. Some are receiving signals to overproduce a protein. Others are reducing ...

Two of the traits that set modern humans apart from non-human primates are taller stature and a higher basal metabolic rate. Researchers have identified a genetic variant that contributed to the ...
