A wave of spatial transcriptomics studies has produced gene-expression atlases that span entire organs and whole organisms, from mouse embryos to the roundworm C. elegans to 31 human tissues. These ...

Scientists have developed some incredibly advanced ways to actually visualize gene activity in tissues. A sample of tissue ...

Researchers uncovered 214,516 unique isoforms in the developing neocortex -- over 70% of which have not been previously studied. A team led by researchers at UCLA and the University of Pennsylvania ...

Researchers identify two distinct gene transcripts of a single gene that could regulate color patterns in Saintpaulia flowers The researchers hypothesized that the white-striped petal pattern was due ...

The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...

How does alcohol change your brain at a genetic level? A new study reveals that alcohol metabolites directly alter epigenetic markers, particularly in the ventral hippocampus. Discover the molecular ...
