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 ...

A study shows epigenetic proteins regulate genes through diverse dynamic patterns, not simple on-off control, with each ...

A new study finds the proteins responsible for controlling which genes are expressed in a genome do more than simply turn a ...

This important study advances a new computational approach to measure and visualize gene expression specificity across different tissues and cell types. The framework is potentially helpful for ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...

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 ...

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are actively expressed at any given time in a cell determines what type of cell it ...

It could be simply to control gene expression." The study, "Global impact of unproductive splicing on human gene expression levels and traits," was supported by funding from the National Institutes of ...
