Epigenetic modifications include methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs disturbances (59). Oncogene promoters can be demethylated and subsequently gene expression is elevated, as ...

Viruses are known to use the genetic machinery of the human cells they invade to make copies of themselves. As part of the ...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder in which the α-synuclein protein abnormally aggregates within brain ...

The only remaining autonomous 'jumping gene' can only attach to, and stitch a copy of itself into, DNA when it builds up into large clusters and only as cells divide.

The technology identified more genomic imprinting in DNA—10 times as much—than previously published data. Genomic imprinting occurs when only one parent's gene is expressed in a child's ...

Viruses are known to use the genetic machinery of the human cells they invade to make copies of themselves. As part of the process, viruses leave behind remnants throughout the genetic material ...

In recent years, the development of sophisticated methodologies based on second- and third-generation sequencing has enabled the RNA community to explore ...

Touching Base is the dynamic podcast series from the editors of GEN. Each episode features a rotating case of senior editors—including John Sterling, Kevin Davies, Julianna LeMieux, Alex ...
