An international collaborative research team has discovered that G-quadraplex DNA (G4-DNA) accumulates in neurons and dynamically controls the activation and repression of genes underlying long-term ...

Research from scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Northwestern University, and elsewhere indicates that forming long-term memories requires DNA damage and brain inflammation. The ...

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act ...

DNA and RNA epigenetics, once thought to be separate, have now been found to work together to fine-tune gene expression. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
