“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 ...

Cyclone is a portable gene-switch system that uses acyclovir to reversibly control gene expression with minimal toxicity.

Researchers have shown for the first time that flipping an epigenetic “switch” in specific memory-holding neurons can directly alter memory strength.

A research team has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive phenomena such as cancer development, metastasis, tissue differentiation from stem ...

What if the brain's response to stress could be read not in fleeting neurotransmitter bursts, but in the quieting of genes ...

In biology classrooms, we often learn that genes are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins—a tidy, linear process. But gene expression in living cells is far more intricate, ...

Although heart cells and skin cells contain identical instructions for creating proteins encoded in their DNA, they're able ...
