Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

In the Living Brain Project, researchers leveraged deep brain stimulation surgeries to compare the brains of the living to those of the dead.

The function of non-coding RNA in the cell has long been a mystery to researchers. Unlike coding RNA, non-coding RNA does not produce proteins -- yet it exists in large quantities. A research team has ...

A newly developed mouse model enables real-time visualization of RNA Polymerase II (RNAP2) during DNA transcription, as ...

The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function. Epigenetic features are just one way that cells control gene expression, ...

Using sophisticated RNA sequencing technology, biomedical researchers can measure the activity of our genes across millions ...

The largest genetic study to date of Alzheimer’s Disease in African Americans reveals hundreds of distinct gene expression ...

An award such as Synapsy reminds us that psychiatry benefits from being rooted in biology in order to develop better diagnoses and truly targeted treatments. The prize highlights those who bring ...
