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 ...

Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA). This mechanism ...

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, intriguingly, many of the most important proteins involved in gene ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Biotechnology, researchers describe the pA regulator system based on a ribonucleic acid (RNA)-based switch to regulate mammalian gene expression by ...

Communication between cells is now believed to activate a memory mechanism that sustains gene expression, a finding based on the work of Dr. Gregory Reeves. Reeves, an associate professor in the Artie ...

To help achieve more precise control of gene therapy, engineers have designed a new control circuit that can keep gene expression levels within a target range. The method could be used to deliver ...

Gene expression analysis using qPCR quantification of RNA transcripts expressed by cells or viruses plays an important role in the discovery and development of novel biotherapeutics. While widely used ...

As the days continue to get shorter, scientists have made a significant discovery in understanding exactly what makes mammals ...

New study reveals gene expression differences in brain regions tied to addiction, highlighting pathways for innovative alcohol use disorder treatments and drug repurposing opportunities. Study: Gene ...

Mosquito-borne diseases, including dengue, Zika, and yellow fever, continue to pose a significant global health threat, ...
