Genes make up the blueprints and outline the process of building every living organism. To ensure that the right genes are ...

Imprinting is yet another process involved in eukaryotic gene regulation; this process involves the silencing of one of the two alleles of a gene for a cell's entire life span. Imprinting affects ...

Depending on how much and which part of the region is modified, different areas of the pigment pattern change. This shows ...

Controlling gene expression is essential to growth, development, and sustained life. This requires regulating the spacial, temporal, and developmental expression of genes in a wide diversity of cell ...

The role of RNA in information transfer and catalysis highlights its dual functionalities. Our laboratory has a long-standing interest in RNA folding, recognition, and catalysis. We are especially ...

The course explores gene regulation in eukaryotes from nuclear organisation to cytosolic control, with a focus on animals and humans. The molecular mechanisms of transcription within a chromatin ...

Fred Hutch researchers have done pioneering work in the areas of gene regulation, chromatin organization and cell cycle state, including quiescence. Gene expression is important because a specific ...

Some sequences in the genome cause genes to be switched on or off. Until now, each of these gene switches, or so-called enhancers, was thought to have its own place on the DNA. Different enhancers ...

Gene expression determines the phenotype of cells and tissues, making the regulation of gene expression fundamental to nearly all physiological processes, in both health and disease. Environmental ...

Scientists have finally uncovered the genetic mutation responsible for the orange coloration in domestic cats, solving a ...

This study presents important findings on the role of CXXC-finger protein 1 in regulatory T cell gene regulation and function. The evidence supporting the authors' claims is solid, with mostly ...
