Triglia discusses her research at the intersection of genetics, epigenetics, single-cell genomics and computational biology.

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

In biology classrooms, we often learn that genes are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins—a tidy, linear process. But gene expression in living cells is far more intricate, ...

A newly revealed molecular tug-of-war may have implications for better understanding how a multitude of diseases and ...

On its 125th anniversary, Science magazine posed 125 unsolved scientific questions, among which “What genetic changes made us uniquely human?” was listed as one of the 25 core problems. Yet the ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too ...

University of Navarra (Spain) researchers have developed RNACOREX, a new open-source software capable of identifying gene regulation networks with applications in cancer survival analysis.

Humans have it. So does Drosophila. But not yeast. That "it" is a small pause at the start of gene activity—a brief molecular halt that may have helped life evolve from simple cells to complex animals ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have revealed that diet and exercise can change gene regulation in the skeletal muscle of East Asians, highlighting the critical role of ...
