Estrogen is known as an important hormone, and it can control many functions by regulating the activity of hundreds of genes.

Site-specific recombination is employed widely in bacteria and bacteriophage as a basis for genetic switching events that control phenotypic variation. It plays a vital role in the life cycles of ...

Researchers at the CNIO show that oestrogens regulate gene expression by changing DNA supercoiling. Hormone-activated ...

Although it also performs some functions in men, estrogen, the main female sex hormone, is involved in a myriad of processes, ...

An international collaborative research team has discovered that G-quadraplex DNA (G4-DNA) accumulates in neurons and dynamically controls the activation and repression of genes underlying long-term ...

DNA is a molecule that can get twisted and tangled - a process that must be closely regulated A research team has developed an automated technique to visualise and measure DNA tangles Technique is so ...

Using high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-em), researchers from Durham University, Jagiellonian University, and the John Innes Centre uncovered unprecedented detail of gyrase’s action on ...

Estrogens, the main female sex hormone, although they also perform some functions in men, are involved in a myriad of ...

Neuroscientists have uncovered a new mechanism for memory formation, and it involves changes in the structure of your DNA. If you were asked to picture a molecule of DNA, chances are you would ...

You can always be judged by your scars. This is the idea that sums up what researchers at Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) claim is one of the new breakthroughs in basic and biomedical ...
