Genes encode proteins and proteins dictate cell function. Therefore, the thousands of genes expressed in a particular cell determine what that cell can do. Moreover, each step in the flow of ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells.

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Biotechnology, researchers describe the pA regulator system based on a ribonucleic acid (RNA)-based switch to regulate mammalian gene expression by ...

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 ...

Exploring diverse ancestry is a critical factor in furthering medical research. A new study published in Nature Genetics from researchers in the Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) at the ...

Protection of Genetic Material: The nuclear envelope shields the DNA from the mechanical and chemical stresses of the ...
