An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled across the human genome. The research is published in the journal Nature. The ...

A new software package called CREsted, published in Nature Methods, gives researchers an end-to-end workflow for modeling and ...

Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have built a platform that steers cell behavior using ...

A ground-breaking study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant genome evolution – a discovery that could pave the way for more ...

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 ...

Researchers have unveiled CREsted, a comprehensive software powerhouse. CREsted doesn’t just describe how DNA works; it allows scientists to design entirely new, synthetic enhancers—short DNA ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

Duke University Medical Center-led research has identified a human-specific DNA enhancer that regulates neural progenitor proliferation and cortical size. Small genetic changes in HARE5 amplify a key ...
