Researchers have used mouse models to demonstrate that an epigenetic factor, known as HDAC4, influences the expression of genes in neuronal cells involved in the processing of pain.

Researchers have found that along with links to a higher risk of hypertension, heart attacks, stroke and diabetes, untreated obstructive sleep apnea can also accelerate the biological aging process.

A genome-wide screen has identified a cell metabolism gene that could increase cancer-fighting T cell activity and potentially enable the development of CAR-T therapy for solid tumors.

A new software tool has been designed to use "pangenome" that incorporates genetic information from people around the world as a reference for genomic research.

According to a study, the green Mediterranean diet enriched the gut microbiome with bacteria that are known to have a significant effect on human weight and glycemic control.

A kitchen sponge is a better incubator for diverse bacterial communities than a laboratory petri dish, found a recent study. But it's not the leftovers that make them so happy.

It has been found that people with specific genetic traits and traumatic childhood experiences are more likely to suffer from adult obesity, as a new study links social health determinants, genetics and disease.

A team has developed a framework for predicting gene expression based on an organism's genome, that is capable of identifying whether changes to non-coding DNA will affect gene expression.

Salk Institute researchers have developed a new genomic technology to simultaneously analyze the DNA, RNA and chromatin—a combination of DNA and protein—from a single cell.

Researchers have constructed and analyzed the genomes of marine jumbo bacteriophages, leading to a number of findings about their evolution and ecology.
