“This is the first detailed study of how and where ORC regulates epigenetics and gene expression in human cells,” said Anindya Dutta, Ph.D., leader of the study and chair of the University of Alabama ...

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, ...

In a recent paper published on aBIOTECH, the authors integrated epigenomic, transcriptomic, and 3D genomic data to ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

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

An ambitious and revolutionary initiative aims to map every cell of all eukaryotic life on Earth. The result will be a Biodiversity Cell Atlas, which will reveal nature's secrets and help inform ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in ...

IGF2BP3 links cancer metabolism and RNA control, offering a potential new therapeutic target for blocking leukemia cell growth.

Bassler's pioneering research on the molecular mechanisms used by bacteria for intercellular communication has shown ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have developed a comprehensive atlas of genetic coding sequences in both healthy adult ...
