“This is the first detailed study of how and where ORC regulates epigenetics and gene expression in human cells,” said Anindya Dutta, Ph.D., leader of the study and chair of the University of Alabama ...

Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

Researchers discovered how human cells detect suboptimal codons in mRNA. The protein DHX29 recognizes non-optimal codons and ...

Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

A research team has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive phenomena such as cancer development, metastasis, tissue differentiation from stem ...

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, ...

Professor Carsten Carlberg has published a comprehensive new textbook, Gene Regulation and Epigenetics: How Science Works, presenting the current understanding of gene regulation and epigenomics.

Livestock breeders could soon have more tools to improve the health and quality of their animals, thanks to a recent study ...

KYOTO – An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled across the human genome. A new study has comprehensively analyzed ...

Cells rely on tiny molecules called microRNAs to tune which genes are active and when. Cells must carefully control the ...
