Transcriptional regulation is a fundamental biological process where proteins interact with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to ...

A genomic atlas of Nematostella vectensis reveals how primitive animals created multiple cell types millions of years ago, without new genes.

The research team discovered that this type of regulation, which appears to influence the expression of about half of all human genes, is found throughout the animal kingdom, as well as in plants. The ...

The images show the abdomen of flies in which a specific enhancer region has been modified. Depending on how much and which part of the region is modified, different areas of the pigment pattern ...

Triterpenoid saponins are widely valued for their diverse pharmacological activities and also play important defensive roles ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have revealed that diet and exercise can change gene regulation in the skeletal muscle of East Asians, highlighting the critical role of ...

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts. RNA splicing is a cellular process ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don’t code for proteins, called ...
