Molecular biologists have long believed that the beginning of a gene launched the process of transcription—the process by which a segment of DNA is copied into RNA and then RNA helps make the proteins ...

In a recent study published in Genome Biology, researchers investigate the impact of a novel loss-of-function mutation in the oxidation resistance 1 (OXR1) gene on cellular functions, neurodevelopment ...

“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 ...

This study, led by Dr. Panpan Jiang and collaborators at Tongji Medical College, explores the critical role of the Dedicator of Cytokinesis 8 (DOCK8) gene in the differentiation of helper T cells, ...

In a study published in Neuron, a research team at the Department of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital, aimed to ...

To function properly, the genetic material is highly organized into loop structures that often bring together widely separated sections of the genome critical to the regulation of gene activity.

Torino is a computational workflow that uses biobank-scale RNA-seq data to decode transcript structures and expression levels from read coverage alone.

Endocrine therapy typically slows cell cycle progression by reducing cyclin D1, which partners with CDK4/6 to promote cell ...

A team led by UC Davis poultry scientist Huaijun Zhou has created the first comprehensive map of gene regulation in breeds of chickens. The map could be a resource for finding resistance to H5N1 ...
