Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

Join the Amoeba Sisters as they discuss gene expression and regulation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This video defines gene expression and explains how gene expression relates to gene regulation ...

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 ...

Origin-recognition complex, or ORC, plays an unexpectedly broad role in the regulation of human cell gene expression, according to a study in the journal Cell Reports. This is the first detailed study ...

A recent study led to the development of a powerful epigenetic editing technology. The system unlocks the ability to precisely program chromatin modifications at any specific position in the genome, ...

Using genomic and transcriptional data has greatly improved the understanding of multiple aspects of human physiology. A new paper in PNAS reports on molecular-level associations of co-occurring ...

Highly repetitive regions of junk DNA may be the key to a newly discovered mechanism for gene regulation. The discovery during the Human Genome Project in the early 2000s that we humans have only ...

Different variants of a gene, known as isoforms, can be transcribed and translated at varying levels within a cell or tissue. These isoforms are commonly a result of alternative splicing, which ...
