Gene expression is controlled, in part, by the interactions between genes and regulatory elements located along the genome.

Chromatin remodeling plays a vital role in gene regulation, affecting how DNA is accessed. Disruptions in this process can also lead to cancer and other diseases. To better understand how chromatin ...

The nuclei of most human cells contains the entire genome, which would have a length of about six feet if it was fully extended. So this DNA has to be carefully compacted in cells, while still ...

The way the body ages could be more resilient than previously thought, a new study suggests. Published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the work by researchers at King's College London ...

Chromatin's structure plays an important regulatory role in DNA template-dependent processes including transcription, replication, recombination, repair, segregation, chromosomal stability, cell cycle ...

Cells depend on the precise reading of DNA sequences to function correctly. This process, known as gene expression, determines which genetic instructions are activated. When this fails, the wrong ...

Studying the microbiology of any entity, be it a molecule or a dolphin, ideally means putting a spotlight as close to the source material as possible. That can be especially challenging when you’re ...

Gene expression is controlled, in part, by the interactions between genes and regulatory elements located along the genome. Those interactions depend ...
