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 ...

Conventional studies on stem cell fates are primarily focused on transcription factors, with the limited consideration for 3D ...

In a surprising discovery, MIT scientists found tiny loops in the genomes of dividing cells. Enabled by a high-resolution ...

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are central regulators of post-transcriptional gene expression. They modulate key aspects of mRNA metabolism—such as splicing, ...

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 ...

Single-cell analyses revealed molecular profiles that can distinguish PTSD from depression, potentially leading to better drugs for this psychiatric disorder. To test this hypothesis, Girgenti and his ...

Scientists at City of Hope have uncovered a gene called SMOC1 that plays a surprising role in the development of type 2 ...

Long-term exposure to fine air pollution can impair metabolic health by disrupting the normal function of brown fat in mice.
