The SCOPE system can capture proteins binding to regions of DNA that control gene expression. The illustration depicts part of the process where a small guide RNA delivers a protein bearing a special ...

The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function. Epigenetic features are just one way that cells control gene expression, ...

Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is ...

The research field of 'cellular IRESes' lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the clear characterization of these starting points for the ribosome-mediated ...

Citrullination, a transformative protein post-translational modification, is gaining recognition for its wide-ranging impact on cellular function and human disease. This process, driven by the enzyme ...

A figure from the paper illustates a key finding of "compromised compartmentalization": chromatin that was locking genes down in health became more open in Alzheimer's, while chromatin that was open ...

A new randomized study finds that a lab test that reads tumor genes can identify which patients with recurrent prostate ...

A gene-editing tool that can turn genes on and off like a light switch has been developed. Turning a gene on means activating ...
