Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

The correct functioning of cells relies heavily on the ability to finely control gene expression, a complex process by which ...

Genoa (Italy)/Grenoble (France) – 2nd July, 2024 - The correct functioning of cells relies heavily on the ability to finely control gene expression, a complex process by which the information ...

The correct functioning of cells relies heavily on the ability to finely control gene expression, a complex process by which the information contained in DNA is copied into RNA to eventually give rise ...

How is it that your body with all of its specialized organs developed from a single cell? Scientists are exploring how gene expression patterns and their timing regulate cell differentiation. Today, ...

Epigenetics, the dynamic regulation of genetic expression, involves complex molecular mechanisms. While the process of gene silencing by methylating the H3K27 position in histones is understood, not ...

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 ...

Memories can live as remarkably cogent substances in the brain. It’s the definition of the word engram, which describes the physical content of how a memory is stored. But memories extend beyond the ...

Using a method called CUT&RUN, researchers saw that Zelda binds genes that decide wing shape, vein placement, and cell identity. They also found that Zelda-bound regions become more accessible during ...

Sex-biased gene expression in the body organs evolves rapidly, supporting a mosaic model of maleness and femaleness across tissues and thus challenging binary views of sex characteristics in mammals.
