Join the Amoeba Sisters as they discuss gene expression and regulation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This video defines gene expression and explains how gene expression relates to gene regulation ...

New research suggests that alternative splicing may have an even greater influence on biology than just by creating new protein isoforms. The study shows that the biggest impact of alternative ...

A research team has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive phenomena such as cancer development, metastasis, tissue differentiation from stem ...

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, ...

Origin-recognition complex, or ORC, plays an unexpectedly broad role in the regulation of human cell gene expression, according to a study in the journal Cell Reports. This is the first detailed study ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

Researchers turned programmable proteins into a novel genetic tool, potentially enabling tighter control of gene expression. LacI is a tetrameric protein, using two dimers to bind two specific, ...

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far ...
