Also, eukaryotic gene expression is usually regulated by a combination of several regulatory proteins acting together, which allows for greater flexibility in the control of gene expression.

Studying the control of gene expression is a growing area of research at the moment, likely owing to its fundamental importance to many biological processes.

Explore the future of healthcare with gene therapies that offer hope for untreatable diseases and advanced treatment options.

Researchers developed an RNA-based switch, the pA regulator system, to control gene expression in mammalian cells by modulating synthetic polyA signal cleavage, offering a novel approach for gene ...

As an example of such structures, which play an important role in the initiation of translation and thus in the regulation of gene expression, the Bonn researchers have now investigated internal ...

Epigenetics and Heritable Control of Gene Expression The epigenome regulates nearly every process in the human body. By studying epigenetics, scientists have revealed some secrets to aging, cancer, ...

The (when stretched) two-meter-long DNA molecule in each human cell is continuously being unpacked and packed again to enable the expression of genetic information.

The synthesis of many catabolic enzymes produced by bacteria is induced by the substrate of the enzyme. Regulator genes may control the synthesis of specific enzymes by a negative control system which ...

A gene identified more than 30 years ago has now revealed its role as a natural microRNA (miRNA) sponge to fine-tune the ...
