Cold Spring Harbor, NY – Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (CSHL Press) has announced the appointment of new editorial leadership at its renowned journal, Genes & Development. Professor Andrew ...
The human brain's remarkably prolonged development is unique among mammals and is thought to contribute to our advanced learning abilities. Disruptions in this process may explain certain ...
Genes make up the blueprints and outline the process of building every living organism. To ensure that the right genes are activated in the right cells, and in the right amounts at the right time, ...
The dissolution of protein coding genes in molecular biology / T. Fogle -- The differential concept of the gene: past and present / S. Schwartz -- Gene concepts and genetic concepts / F. Gifford -- ...
The WUSCHEL‐related homeobox (WOX) gene family is integral to plant development, governing processes such as embryogenesis, meristem maintenance and organ formation. These genes are distinguished by a ...
The team of Professor Christof Niehrs at the Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB) in Mainz, Germany, has discovered that a DNA modification called 5-formylcytosine (5fC) functions as an activating ...
The Huntington's disease (HD) mutation eventually causes a fatal brain disease in adulthood, but a new study finds that early in life, children with the HD mutation have bigger brains and higher IQ ...
A Yale research team has created a new computer tool that can pinpoint when exactly genes turn on and off over time during brain development — a finding that may one day help doctors identify the ...
As people live longer, the gut quietly accumulates damage that can tip the balance between healthy tissue renewal and chronic ...
Researchers at the UC Davis College of Biological Sciences have discovered that a little-known protein called ATF7IP2 helps to inactivate the X and Y chromosomes during cell divisions that lead to ...
Researchers uncover how the fruitless gene steers brain development and social feeding behavior in male honeybees.
