A new study has answered century-old questions about how chromosome folding occurs.

Gene silencing dsRNA technology can reduce housefly fertility, showing promise as a pest-control method.

Scientists have unveiled incredible images of how the DNA code is read and interpreted – revealing new detail about one of the fundamental processes of life. The mechanism for reading DNA and decoding it to build proteins for their needs is common to all animals and plants, and is often hijacked by cancer. The discovery of exactly how the molecular mechanism works, could open up new approaches to cancer treatment.

A newly devised algorithm called LogicTRN has the potential to unravel the complexities of genetic regulation.

A study using pluripotent stem cells has shown that genome architecture can have significant effects on gene expression.

Developmental genetic variations in the anatomy of the lung could indicate people at risk of COPD later in life, a study suggests.

An enhanced gene therapy technique that pairs a viral vector with a proteasome blockade has doubled the therapy's efficiency.

Researcher report a new method of reducing pain-associated behaviors with RNA-based medicine, creating a new class of decoy molecules that prevent the onset of pain.

A study has shown that the loss of a subtype of the gene HSD17B4 can contribute to treatment-resistant prostate cancer.

New findings suggest that epigenetic analysis of DNA regions that control gene expression may hold clues to the genetic basis of autism spectrum disorder.
