“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 ...

The 55th Lewis S. Rosenstiel Award for Distinguished Work in Basic Medical Research has been awarded to professor Steven ...

In biology classrooms, we often learn that genes are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins—a tidy, linear process. But gene expression in living cells is far more intricate, ...

Research into transcription factors deepen understanding of the 'language' of the genome, offering insights into human development. New research has uncovered more about the complexity of human gene ...

Researchers have shown for the first time that flipping an epigenetic “switch” in specific memory-holding neurons can directly alter memory strength.

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

Sections of DNA once dismissed as dormant and useless could in fact be recruited to fight certain types of drug-resistant ...

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 ...
