With development of many effective approaches to fighting cancer, the focus becomes less about finding new ways to treat patients and more about identifying which already available treatments a patient will respond best to. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have...

Why do men have worse outcomes than women from COVID-19? A new study suggests it’s not something wrong with males, it’s something right with females. Specifically, females’ innate immune...

A new statistical method provides a more efficient way to uncover biologically meaningful changes in genomic data that span multiple conditions — such as cell types or tissues. Whole genome studies...

New study uses postmortem brain tissues to understand genomic differences in individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York have identified 35 genes that are particularly highly expressed in people with long-term Lyme disease. These genes could...

New technology can trace which populations of breast cancer cells are responsible for the spread of the disease, and for the first time highlights how the location of cancer cells could be as important as...

For the first time, scientists at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have shown that infection by SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, changes the functioning of host cell RNA. They arrived at this conclusion by analyzing ...

The human genome has just over 20,000 genes coding for proteins. Yet, it produces at least ten times that many different non-coding RNA molecules, which can often take on more than one shape. At least some of this RNA structurome ...

While recent advances in plant single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) have made numerous strides in identifying novel regulatory events...

In recent years, scientists who study gene expression in cells have used a method that essentially pins a tail on RNA and tracks their...
