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 ...

The central focus of exploring regulatory elements in mRNA has been on sequence-specific RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) that influence mRNA stability, translation, and splicing. On the other hand, some ...

Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

Recent work reported in Nature highlighted the importance of methylation on messenger RNA (mRNA). Methyl tags that are added to mRNA can have a dramatic impact on the fate of mRNA transcripts. Now an ...

Controlling gene expression is essential to growth, development, and sustained life. This requires regulating the spacial, temporal, and developmental expression of genes in a wide diversity of cell ...

Your skin cells are clearly different from your brain cells even though they both develop in the same person and carry the same genes. They are different because each cell type expresses a particular ...

A research team has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive phenomena such as cancer development, metastasis, tissue differentiation from stem ...

Mármol and his colleagues extracted RNA sequences from the muscles and skin of 10 permafrozen woolly mammoth specimens found ...

With a three-year, $1.6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Chi Zhang, ...
