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 new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to ...

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

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 ...

Triterpenoid saponins are key bioactive compounds responsible for the medicinal value of many plants, yet how plants regulate the balance between saponin production and sterol biosynthesis has ...

Triterpenoid saponins are widely valued for their diverse pharmacological activities and also play important defensive roles ...

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

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, ...

New research has investigated the mechanism by which bivalency functions to poise genes for expression during cell differentiation, providing insight into a long-standing paradigm in the regulation of ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

The process of “epigenetic memory” in nerve cells plays a key role in learning ability, memory function, and healthy brain ...
