WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers interested in improving a given trait in plants can now identify the genes that regulate the trait’s expression without doing any experiments. The Purdue-USDA team ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

An extraction-free kit enables gene expression analysis directly from hepatocyte lysates, delivering results in 75 minutes with sensitivity comparable to RNA purification.

The team found that many variants linked to complex diseases are also associated with more unproductive splicing and decreased gene expression. So, they believe that better understanding its impact ...

Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells. However, to be effective, the new gene must make it into a cell's nucleus. The ...

SAR446268 is a one-time adeno-associated viral gene therapy that delivers a vectorized RNA interference to silence DMPK expression. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track ...

What if you could flip a genetic switch to silence a gene, then turn it back on with a simple drug? For researchers, gene-switch tools offer that kind of control—and a new system called Cyclone may ...
