An extraction-free kit enables gene expression analysis directly from hepatocyte lysates, delivering results in 75 minutes with sensitivity comparable to RNA purification.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers interested in improving a given trait in plants can now identify the genes that regulate the trait’s expression without doing any experiments. The Purdue-USDA team ...

Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells. However, to be effective, the new gene must make it into a cell's nucleus. The ...

The correct functioning of cells relies heavily on the ability to finely control gene expression, a complex process by which the information contained in DNA is copied into RNA to eventually give rise ...

Delivery of therapeutic genes is essential for gene therapy. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are a prime vector for carrying ...

New research suggests that alternative splicing may have an even greater influence on biology than just by creating new protein isoforms. The study shows that the biggest impact of alternative ...

SAR446268 is a one-time adeno-associated viral gene therapy that delivers a vectorized RNA interference to silence DMPK expression. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track ...

What if a cup of coffee could help treat cancer? Researchers at the Texas A&M Health Institute of Biosciences and Technology ...

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...
