Living cells are fundamentally nonequilibrium systems, meaning they constantly spend energy through seemingly one-way, ...

Scientists reveal a hidden second layer of human DNA, showing how genome folding controls genes and influences disease development.

A team of scientists has discovered surprising connections among gene activity, genome packing, and genome-wide motions, revealing aspects of the genome's organization that directly affect gene ...

The YABBY gene family comprises plant‐specific transcription factors that play pivotal roles in defining lateral organ polarity and promoting organogenesis in seed plants. These genes ...

When a gene is active, there is cellular machinery that transcribes the sequence of that gene from DNA into messenger RNA. This is a fundamental cellular process that is essential to the proper ...

Research into transcription factors deepen understanding of the 'language' of the genome, offering insights into human development. New research has uncovered more about the complexity of human gene ...

Scientists at IOCB Prague are uncovering new details of gene transcription. They have identified a previously unknown molecular mechanism by which the transcription of genetic information from ...

Cancer’s strongest gene switches push DNA into damaging overdrive, creating repeated breaks and repairs that may fuel tumor ...

A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant ...

Synaptic transmission is an energy hog. It requires neurons to tap ATP reserves to respond to incoming signals. How do they pull this off, thousands to millions of times per day? A new study ...
