Researchers have developed 'tomoseqr' -- a new software tool that enables easy estimation of the three-dimensional (3D) spatial distribution of gene expression. Tomoseqr is free to use and has been ...

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

What if you could flip a genetic switch to silence a gene, then turn it back on with a simple drug? For researchers, gene-switch tools offer that kind of control—and a new system called Cyclone may ...

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

Mouse studies identified the cancer drugs letrozole and irinotecan as a potential combination therapy for Alzheimer's disease, each targeting Alzheimer's-related gene expression changes in neurons and ...

Through extracting microbial profiles of lung cancer tissues and combining single-cell analysis, it shows that the distribution of microbiota-related cells and microbiome are related to ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Understanding the 3D spatial distribution of gene expression—in which a gene is active or inactive within biological tissue—is essential for uncovering gene functions. One method for ...
