Understanding how cells turn genes on and off is one of biology's most enduring mysteries. Now, a new technology developed by chemist Brian Liau and his collaborators at Harvard offers an ...

Some sequences in the genome cause genes to be switched on or off. Until now, each of these gene switches, or so-called enhancers, was thought to have its own place on the DNA. Different enhancers are ...

KYOTO – An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled across the human genome. A new study has comprehensively analyzed ...

Origin-recognition complex (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 ...

Ligand-driven enhancer activation selectively boosts target gene expression while indirectly repressing neighboring non-target genes, revealing dynamic and competitive regulation during early ...

The EU has relaxed its rules on gene-editing. Now, only some gene-edited crops are regulated by the stringent GMO directive.

Korean researchers have uncovered the assembly mechanism behind a protein that regulates gene expression, opening the door to ...

“This is the first detailed study of how and where ORC regulates epigenetics and gene expression in human cells,” said Anindya Dutta, Ph.D., leader of the study and chair of the University of Alabama ...
