Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular ...

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 ...

The human genome contains approximately 1,600 types of transcription factors responsible for regulating gene activity across ...

University of Navarra (Spain) researchers have developed RNACOREX, a new open-source software capable of identifying gene regulation networks with applications in cancer survival analysis.

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, ...

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 ...

Plant bioengineering—in which plant genes are modified to include desirable characteristics—is the key to solutions for problems concerning crop resilience and food security. Elements like gene ...

A team led by UC Davis poultry scientist Huaijun Zhou has created the first comprehensive map of gene regulation in breeds of chickens. The map could be a resource for finding resistance to H5N1 ...
