Caffeine modulates the genetic risk for cardiovascular disease through changes in target gene expression, likely due to regulation of transcription factor binding.

A giant multifunctional protein complex mediates mating-type recognition through a non-ligand–receptor mechanism in a multisexual species.

The gain of transposable elements in yeast hybrids does not scale with genetic divergence levels and is most impacted by structural variations and multiple aspects of individual hybrid genetic backgrounds.

Volatile compounds from microbes and food alter epigenetic states by inhibiting histone deacetylases and alter gene expression, slow degeneration in Huntington’s model flies, and slow proliferation of a neuroblastoma cell line.

The Sanger Excellence Fellowship has been established to increase the representation of researchers with Black-heritage backgrounds at a leading research centre in the UK.

Germline mutation rates in mice are shaped by two mutator alleles that interact epistatically, showing that DNA repair defects that map to different loci can have snowballing effects.

Exploring tissue-specific regulation of gene expression with human-chimpanzee hybrid cells helps us understand how life evolves and what makes us human.

Fission yeast loses its heterochromatin stability at mating-type locus under high temperature due to compromised binding between heterochromatin protein Swi6^HP1 and Atf1.
