A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to ...

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 ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

Understanding the genetic mechanisms linking genome variations, such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), to phenotypes ...

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 ...

New research suggests that alternative splicing may have an even greater influence on biology than just by creating new protein isoforms. The study shows that the biggest impact of alternative ...

A new international study suggests that ancient viral DNA embedded in our genome, which were long dismissed as genetic "junk," may actually play powerful roles in regulating gene expression. Focusing ...

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 ...

The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously ...

The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. The work was led by Ian Maze, a neuroepigeneticist ...
