Neuropsychiatric disorders are becoming increasingly prevalent. Given their complex and multifactorial pathogenesis, there is ...

MaizeCODE is a genomic project analyzing the genetic basis of maize domestication. Researchers identified key regulatory ...

This study identifies 47,350 enhancers active in human neurons during differentiation and links some to genes involved in ...

Understanding enhancer function is very important, since they contain the majority of genetic variants ('mutations') associated with common diseases, such as autoimmune, metabolic and neurological ...

CSHL Professors Thomas Gingeras and Rob Martienssen have launched a new genomic encyclopedia called MaizeCODE. Their latest ...

In a 2010 Nature paper, researchers in the lab of neurobiologist Michael Greenberg at Harvard Medical School reported that enhancers can produce RNA. Working with cultured mouse neurons, the ...

The enhancers in this metaphor would be in charge of the amount of ingredients rather than their kind. Using sawdust instead of flour is an example of a genetic mutation, which is similar to ...

“We didn’t think it would work.” The results serve as an extreme example of what scientists are now recognizing as trends among enhancers—that activity can be conserved over long evolutionary ...

Understanding enhancer function is very important, since they contain the majority of genetic variants (‘mutations’) associated with common diseases, such as autoimmune, metabolic and neurological ...

Genetic engineering is the act of modifying ... Quantifying the function of enhancer sequences is crucial for systems biology. Here, the authors introduce an AI-added strategy to quantify the ...
