Using a technique called spatial transcriptomics, researchers have analyzed the gene expression in the mouse colon and created a map showing where in the tissue individual genes are expressed. When ...

The Cucurbitaceae family, comprising economically important crops such as cucumber, melon, and watermelon, exhibits remarkable phenotypic diversity in traits including fruit size, shape, and flesh ...

Researchers have found that individual prostate tumors contain a previously unknown range of genetic variation. Understanding which cells give rise to which areas of cancer can improve our ...

Reverse Transcription Quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) Custom primer pairs target genes of interest, and fluorescence from reporter molecules measured over time indicates gene expression. While RT-qPCR is ...

Trait mapping has been indispensable for enhancing crop plants by identifying genomic regions associated with key agronomic ...

Gene editing techniques, including CRISPR, prime editing, and nucleases, allow scientists to tackle genetic diseases, cancer, and more. Researchers increasingly apply these techniques to study and ...

Scientists from Oxford's Radcliffe Department of Medicine have achieved the most detailed view yet of how DNA folds and ...

A habitat-building coralline algae that provides a vital nursing ground for marine species and an important blue carbon ...

Years of work by developmental biologists from Trinity College Dublin, working with colleagues at the University of Edinburgh’s MRC Human Genetics Unit, has yielded a resource of unparalleled detail ...

Researchers from The University of Texas at Arlington and the University of California–San Francisco have used a new brain-mapping technique to identify memory-related brain cells vulnerable to ...

Defective mitochondria – the 'batteries' that power the cells of our bodies – could in future be repaired using gene-editing techniques. Scientists at the University of Cambridge have shown that it is ...
