Researchers have released TripletDGC, a publicly available resource that links nearly 10,000 disease-associated genes to the specific cell types they most strongly affect, filling a critical gap in ...

By enforcing a ‘sex test’ for athletes, the International Olympic Committee has reignited the debate about what a ‘level ...

In back-to-back studies published in Nature, researchers from Purdue University and Columbia University report a naturally ...

The introduction of Jude Samulski’s PhD thesis contained a bold goal: develop a gene therapy vector that could be used to treat the world’s genetic diseases. By 1982, he had first cloned the ...

Research has uncovered a previously unknown, widespread role of ORC in regulating human cell gene expression. New work has revealed a much wider role for origin-recognition complex (ORC) in regulating ...
