Origin-recognition complex (ORC) plays an unexpectedly broad role in the regulation of human cell gene expression, according ...

A new study has found that ORC plays a broad, unexpected role in regulating human cell gene expression and chromatin ...

The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function. Epigenetic features are just one way that cells control gene expression, ...

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a ...

As an example of such structures, which play an important role in the initiation of translation and thus in the regulation of gene expression, the Bonn researchers have now investigated internal ...

Structured 'bridge' protein links disordered gene regulators to control gene expression by Graciela Gutierrez, Baylor College of Medicine edited by Stephanie Baum, reviewed by Andrew Zinin Editors ...

During development, many crucial genes help organisms form properly. One of those genes is MyoD | Genetics And Genomics ...

RNA-binding proteins use a dual binding mechanism involving zinc finger (ZnF) domains and intrinsically disordered regions ...

By stimulating macrophages—a type of white blood cell—with biological factors that mimic infection, researchers have ...

Periodical cicadas have one of the strangest life cycles in the animal kingdom. The 17-year cicadas spend 99.5% of their ...
