In a study published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, scientists from the Department of Medical Biochemistry and ...

If DNA is a book, then how is it read? Learn more about the DNA transcription process, where DNA is converted to RNA, a more portable set of instructions for the cell. The process of transcription ...

Although these different classes of RNA differ in their characteristics — such as their modal length — their distribution with respect to gene transcription start sites (TSSs) is remarkably ...

Next, using next-generation sequencing methods, the investigators sequenced all the DNA bound by each transcription factor, creating a comprehensive data set comprising 605 transcription factors ...

In a groundbreaking study, scientists from Karolinska Institutet discovered that water molecules are crucial in helping transcription factors, proteins that regulate gene activity, read the human ...

"Each gene was like a single word. However, there was a piece of critical information lacking: transcription initiation sites for individual genes." Transcription initiation sites are locations in ...

The manuscript addresses the 3D chromatin architecture in monocytes from patients with alcohol-associated hepatitis and its relationship to enhanced transcription of innate immune genes. While the ...

NORAD is a unique RNA molecule that plays vital roles in genetic regulation, cell differentiation, and embryonic development, while STAT3 is a protein essential for controlling transcription and ...

A new study has unveiled the intricate genetic mechanisms that regulate theanine accumulation in tea plants—a key determinant ...

The discovery of a family with sequence similarity 102 member A (Fam102a) protein as a novel bone remodeling factor that regulates both osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation can aid the ...

A kidney cancer cell nucleus is studded with aberrant nuclear speckles (orange). Normal healthy cells tend to have the speckles clustered toward the middle. Image credit: Kate Alexander (Cold Spring ...

Cells express their genes by converting the genetic message into protein. This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed ...
