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 ...

Intrinsically disordered regions in transcription factors enhance both target binding probability and search efficiency.

Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of RNA molecule that do not carry instructions to make proteins. Instead, they influence how other genes are expressed. There are tens of thousands of lncRNAs ...

New tech reveals findings that address long-standing theories about how bacteria begin the process of making RNA from DNA. Every living cell transcribes DNA into RNA. This process begins when an ...

This valuable study analyzes aging-related chromatin changes through the lens of intra-chromosomal gene correlation length, which is a novel computational metric that captures spatial correlations in ...

Most people recognize Alzheimer's from its devastating symptoms such as memory loss, while new drugs target pathological aspects of disease manifestations, such as plaques of amyloid proteins. Now a ...

Poplar tree research identified 102 WRKY genes linked to cadmium resistance. Cd stress activated 83 of these, with WRKY95 ...
