All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their ...

A study reveals how the essential red blood cell transcription factor KLF1 recognizes DNA. Using precise measurements in test ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

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 ...

Gene therapy is defined as the treatment of disease by transfer of genetic material into cells, to prevent, treat and potentially even cure a disease. Gene therapies can work by several mechanisms: 1) ...

Researchers have determined whether a specific chemical modification of a protein that packages the genome called a histone affects gene activity and cell proliferation. Researchers have determined ...

With a three-year, $1.6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Chi Zhang, Edgar Cahoon and Bin Yu will focus on the genome-wide identification of small ...

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, ...
