Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have found that a cellular housekeeping mechanism called autophagy plays a major role ...

Cells are defined by the genes they express; protein-coding genes are carefully regulated so that the correct proteins will be active at the right times and places to carry out a cell's functions.

Computational biologists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how RNA splicing – a crucial process for isoform expression and protein diversity - is regulated across ...

Over the past decades, large-scale human genetic studies have identified numerous risk genes and variants associated with complex diseases and traits.

Every time a cell divides to produce two new daughter cells., the genome must be replicated and evenly divided between those new cells. During this process, DNA undergoes many changes in form.
