A new computational tool infers changes occurring at the ends of the chromosomes housing our DNA. It does so by detecting structural alterations in cells and tissues captured in images taken of ...

Livestock breeders could soon have more tools to improve the health and quality of their animals, thanks to a recent study ...

Computational biologists have uncovered how RNA splicing -- a crucial process for isoform expression and protein diversity -- is regulated across different cell types in the peripheral blood. This ...

Different variants of a gene, known as isoforms, can be transcribed and translated at varying levels within a cell or tissue. These isoforms are commonly a result of alternative splicing, which ...

Mitochondrial enzymatic activity and mtDNA density measures display low between-tissue correlations across 22 tissues from 27 mice. A long-standing assumption is that mitochondrial energy capacity is ...

A Yale research team has created a new imaging technique that reveals the hidden connections between aging, disease, and genetic activity in human cells. Using a novel machine learning approach, the ...

“Our results suggest that forensic applications of DNAm clocks using non-blood tissue types will provide age estimates that are not as accurate as predictions based on blood, especially if using ...
