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

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.

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

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 ...

Scientists have recently been learning more about the importance of small bits of circular genetic material known as extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA). These little circles of DNA can hitch a ride with ...
