Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have found that a cellular housekeeping mechanism called autophagy plays a major role ...

Over the past decades, large-scale human genetic studies have identified numerous risk genes and variants associated with complex diseases and traits.

Cells are defined by the genes they express; protein-coding genes are carefully regulated so that the correct proteins will be active at the right times and places to carry out a cell's functions.

Computational biologists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how RNA splicing – a crucial process for isoform expression and protein diversity - is regulated across ...

There are some disorders that have specific causes like known genetic mutations, but correcting those genetic errors can be incredibly challenging. One issue with gene therapy is the problem of ...
