Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are ...

Single cell gene expression studies often rely on single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) alone. While scRNA-seq reveals which genes are turned on, it does not capture protein expression or changes to ...

While the process via which different types of neurons are produced, also known as neurogenesis, has been the focus of numerous neuroscience studies, its genetic and biological underpinnings in humans ...

How rapidly gene expression in a single cell changes over time can provide insight into how cells might become more specialized. A new method to calculate RNA velocity, developed by researchers at ...

How do cells know what they should become as the body develops? Biological development depends crucially on spatial patterns: ...

Researchers led by Dubravka Vučićević at the Max Delbrück Center have developed a new method to discover how DNA controls genes. Their technique, published in “Cell Genomics,” can reveal the genetic ...

Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...

Jason Mast is a general assignment reporter at STAT focused on the science behind new medicines and the systems and people that decide whether that science ever reaches patients. You can reach Jason ...

Eugene “Gene” J. Richard, 78, a native of the St. Charles Community and long-time resident of Thibodaux, passed away on August 21, 2025. A visitation will be held in his honor on Thursday, August 28, ...
