Snakes are one of the most dangerous yet fascinating reptiles. With their stunning patterns, slithering noises and poisonous ...

In a groundbreaking advancement for families grappling with the challenges of Dravet syndrome, a rare and life-altering form ...

By replacing the defective gene associated with Dravet syndrome in mice, scientists successfully alleviated symptoms without side effects.

Although DNA is a long, stringy molecule, in living cells it is folded and looped like a ball of yarn. This means that genes can be physically close to the “enhancer” DNA switches that turn them on ...

Transcriptional enhancers are short regions of DNA that, when bound by proteins, increase the likelihood that a particular gene will be transcribed. They are therefore essential for controlling gene ...

Researchers used powerful technology to analyse thousands of individual cells at once, considering which genes are active.

This means that genes can be physically close to the "enhancer" DNA switches that turn them on and off even if they are far apart in the DNA sequence. To understand how genes are turned on and off ...
