Here’s how it works. Scientists have discovered a gene variant that could make some parents more likely to have girls than boys. In the new study, researchers analyzed the genomes of around ...
The instructions for activating or repressing a gene are encoded in the genome, and each type of cell has its own genomic ‘language’ that is based on highly complex patterns of nucleotides ...
By Gina Kolata Photographs by Kenny Holston Gina Kolata visited Kendric Cromer and his parents for the third time as she has followed his gene therapy at Children’s National Hospital in ...
Despite multiple gene expression studies becoming available, the limited overlap of reported p63-dependent genes has made it difficult to decipher the p63 gene regulatory network. Particularly, ...
About half of all cancers in humans have a mutation in one of the two copies of a tumor suppressor gene that encodes a protein called p53, which helps to control how and when cells grow and divide. In ...
