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 ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

How does our DNA store the massive amount of information needed to build a human being? And what happens when it's stored incorrectly? Jesse Dixon, MD, Ph.D., has spent years studying the way this ...

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene ...

“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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Researchers developed e2MPRA, a high-throughput technique that simultaneously measures cis-regulatory element activity and ...

Scientists identified 473 human genes that act as genetic “on/off switches,” shaping disease risk through tissue-specific or universal patterns regulated by DNA changes and hormones. Study: ...

If autoimmune disease runs in your family, you may have been told some version of this: It’s in your genes. But science is revealing a deeper layer of complexity; genetic predisposition influences ...
