A gene is a unit of heredity in a living organism. It normally resides on a stretch of DNA that codes for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. All living things depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains.

Integrated DNA Technologies and Aldevron Launch New Cas9 mRNA Solutions to Accelerate Path From Gene Editing Research to Development

Danaher companies Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT), a global leader in genomics, and Aldevron, a premier manufacturing partner for DNA, RNA, and protein, today announced the launch of research grade S.p. Cas9 mRNA in wild type and SpyFi™ high-fidelity formats.

Single-Cell Multiomics Model Decodes Enhancer Networks in Rare Cell Populations

Understanding gene regulation may be the key to interpreting human disease genetics. Genes are regulated in part by stretches of DNA called enhancers, which define when, where, and how strongly each gene is turned on.

Noninvasive Imaging Framework Enhances Predictions of Higher-Order Human Brain Function

Researchers from the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a new, noninvasive way to examine how blood flow and cellular organization align across the layers of the living human brain.

Scientists Identify Molecular Mechanism Behind Persistent Obesity and Weight Relapse

Two enduring biological mysteries have remained unsolved for decades: why almost everyone who loses weight gains it back, no matter how they lost it, and why obesity passes from mother to child at rates that diet and environment cannot explain. Now, scientists from Harrington Discovery Institute at University Hospitals and Case Western Reserve University have identified why.

New Insights Into How Giant-Nucleus Cells Promote Early-Stage Cancer Growth

Iron is an essential micronutrient, but excess iron can damage cells and increase cancer risk. While many cells die from iron-induced oxidative stress, a subset survives and may become cancerous. Previously, the identity of these surviving cells was unclear.

Multi-Omic Integration Reveals Novel Gene-Disease Links in Undiagnosed Rare Conditions

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London, the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) and Genomics England have shown that measuring proteins in the blood can provide important additional clues about the effects of genetic variants, helping to identify diagnoses and potential new disease-causing genes that genome sequencing alone has been unable to resolve.

Advanced Gene Editing Provides Essential Tool for Studying Early Human Embryonic Development

A study by researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons has found that new cutting-edge techniques can accurately edit genes in human embryos-giving scientists indispensable tools for understanding normal human development-but has also uncovered important risks that currently preclude the use of the techniques in the clinic.
