Our circadian clocks play a crucial role in our health and well-being, keeping our 24-hour biological cycles in sync with light and dark exposure. Disruptions in the rhythms of these clocks, as with ...
Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is turned on, the production of proteins or other substances is promoted; when ...

Scientists found a hidden "genetic clock" that acts as the master timekeeper of an animal’s growth, firing off precise bursts of gene activity on schedule
Researchers working with the roundworm C. elegans have identified a feedback loop between two proteins that functions as a ...
A newly discovered genetic clock acts as the master timekeeper for development, orchestrating crucial bursts of gene activity ...
Investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine have developed a versatile and non-toxic technology for controlling the activity of any gene in a cell. Such "gene-switch" tools allow scientists to "turn on" ...
CRISPR-Cas9 has been widely adapted for use in transcriptional modulation and epigenetic engineering with deactivated Cas9 (dCas9) systems to enable CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) and CRISPR activation ...
Not all parts of our genetic code are equal, even when they appear to say the same thing. Scientists have discovered that cells can detect less efficient genetic instructions and selectively silence ...

Mice engineered to overproduce Grik4 became visibly anxious and socially withdrawn; restoring the gene’s expression flipped both deficits back
Researchers have shown that mice carrying extra copies of the Grik4 gene developed clear signs of anxiety and social ...
Gene therapy has been successfully used to treat a number of diseases, including immune deficiencies, hereditary blindness, hemophilia and, recently, Huntington's disease, a fatal neurological ...
