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 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, ...

Cancer cells are known to reawaken embryonic genes to grow. A new study reveals the disease also hijacks the proteins, or ...

Molecular biologists have long believed that the beginning of a gene launched the process of transcription—the process by which a segment of DNA is copied into RNA and then RNA helps make the proteins ...

Scientists have discovered that coordination between basic cellular processes is lost with increasing age. Gene regulation in our cells -- the decision when which proteins are produced for the various ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have revealed that diet and exercise can change gene regulation in the skeletal muscle of East Asians, highlighting the critical role of ...

New findings show Telomir-1 shuts down cellular energy pathways and mitochondrial function in aggressive breast cancer cells, ...

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 ...
