DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

Researchers have revealed a new mechanism underlying how spatial distance between specific regions of DNA is linked to bursts of gene activity. Using advanced cell imaging techniques and computer ...

Researchers at the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology have uncovered new evidence that two major types of gene-controlling DNA sequences, promoters and enhancers, operate with a shared ...

Researchers at the Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Yale University, have used artificial intelligence (AI) to design thousands of new DNA switches that can ...

Biologists have used machine learning, a type of AI, to identify 'synthetic extreme' DNA sequences with specifically designed functions in gene activation. They tested 50 million DNA sequences and ...

Human DNA constantly refolds in 3D space, and these looping dynamics regulate gene expression and cell identity.

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...
