Although the genetic sequence is the same in every cell in the body, only a subset of those genes is expressed by each cell.

The behavior of a person's genes doesn't just depend on the genes' DNA sequence - it's also affected by so-called epigenetic factors. Changes in these factors can play a critical role in disease.

Researchers discovered how genetic switches shaped human brain evolution by fine-tuning shared gene expression.
