No gene acts alone: interacting variants and protein partnerships can worsen, mask or even rescue disease risk, demanding ...

Scientists have discovered an interaction between genes that increases the risk of developing a type of alopecia. Scientists have discovered an interaction between genes that increases the risk of ...

Despite rapid advances in reading the genetic code of living organisms, scientists still face a major challenge today—knowing a gene's sequence does not automatically reveal what it does. Even in ...

Andrea Califano, PhD, professor of chemical and systems biology at Columbia University, encourages an artificial intelligence (AI) approach to cancer immunotherapy, where AI models predict the genes ...

Infants of mothers with diabetes have a three- to five-fold increased risk of congenital heart defects. Such developmental defects are likely caused by a combination of genetic and environmental ...

Genetic testing for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) can tell doctors if someone has leukemia, what type they may have, and whether treatment is working. The tests look for atypical changes in certain ...

Transcriptional regulation is a fundamental biological process where proteins interact with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to control gene activity. Despite its critical role, understanding these ...
