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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Although HPVs do express some unspliced mRNAs (Figure 2), most HPV mRNAs are the products of constitutive and alternative splicing. Constitutive splicing is where every intron in the primary RNA ...

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 ...

image: Gene expression within the apicoplast, an organelle in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, is regulated by melatonin (the circadian signaling hormone) in host blood, and intrinsic ...

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, ...

Research will focus on the genome-wide identification of microexons to advance the knowledge on gene functions.

A newly developed mouse model enables real-time visualization of RNA Polymerase II (RNAP2) during DNA transcription, as ...

Although heart cells and skin cells contain identical instructions for creating proteins encoded in their DNA, they're able ...
