When genes are «expressed,» it is like reading an instruction manual to create things the body needs—such as proteins or RNA. It is an important process in regulating normal cellular functions. Understanding more about gene expression can reveal insigh…

Peter Mac scientists have developed a way to precisely target the «unique molecular fingerprint» created when two genes become abnormally fused together, a discovery that could lead to a new way to treat a wide array of cancers.

A new genetic testing approach for sick children with immune conditions could slash diagnosis waiting times from 12 months to as little as two weeks, University of Queensland research has found.

A three-letter sequence repeating along a stretch of DNA could offer new clues about why some people are more susceptible to Alzheimer’s disease than others. The sequence, CCG, sits in a region of DNA that controls the gene FAM193B.
