Using a new artificial intelligence method, researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons can accurately predict the activity of genes within any human cell, ...

Lief Fenno and a team from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the ...

The gene neuropilin2 encodes a receptor involved in cell-cell interactions in the brain and plays a key role in regulating ...

The centromere of chromosomes plays a crucial role in cell division. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, an international team of researchers has investigated how two crucial proteins -- KNL2 ...

A research team has clarified a mechanism of how retrotransposons, genetic elements that can 'jump around' chromosomes and are known drivers of evolution, preferentially insert in the centromere.

A new study published in Science Advances reveals evidence of electrical signaling and coordinated behavior in ...

Researchers have amassed vast single-cell gene expression databases to understand how the smallest details impact human ...

In many organisms, aging is a clear risk factor for increased rates of chromosome mis-segregation, the main source of aneuploidy. Here, we report that old yeast mother c ...

CD4 T helper cells are a type of white blood cell called a lymphocyte that serves an important role in your immune system. These cells help defend the body against infection by directing other "killer ...
