Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are ...

This study reveals how gene expression patterns uncover molecular pathways linking comorbidities, enhancing treatment ...

This new research may also prove important for future drug development. Scientists have identified numerous genes linked to cancer, but controlling their expression remains a challenge.

Gene Expression Genes encode proteins and proteins dictate cell function. Therefore, the thousands of genes expressed in a particular cell determine what that cell can do.

Gene expression is dynamic, and the same gene may act in different ways under different circumstances. For example, imagine that two organisms have similar genotypes but different phenotypes.

A new study has found that ORC plays a broad, unexpected role in regulating human cell gene expression and chromatin ...

Researchers from the Voigt lab have extended our understanding of how developmental genes are held in a poised state to allow timely expression once they receive the correct 'go' signals.

The function of non-coding RNA in the cell has long been a mystery to researchers. Unlike coding RNA, non-coding RNA does not produce proteins -- yet it exists in large quantities. A research team ...

Cohesin is a protein that forms a ring-shaped complex which wraps and alters the DNA molecule shape. It moves through the DNA and creates specific loops in the genetic material which determine the ...

Epigenetics and Heritable Control of Gene Expression The epigenome regulates nearly every process in the human body. By studying epigenetics, scientists have revealed some secrets to aging, cancer, ...
