WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers interested in improving a given trait in plants can now identify the genes that regulate the trait’s expression without doing any experiments. The Purdue-USDA team ...

The team found that many variants linked to complex diseases are also associated with more unproductive splicing and decreased gene expression. So, they believe that better understanding its impact ...

What if a cup of coffee could help treat cancer? Researchers at the Texas A&M Health Institute of Biosciences and Technology believe it's possible. By combining caffeine with the use of CRISPR—a ...

What if you could flip a genetic switch to silence a gene, then turn it back on with a simple drug? For researchers, gene-switch tools offer that kind of control—and a new system called Cyclone may ...
