Imprinting is yet another process involved in eukaryotic gene regulation; this process involves the silencing of one of the two alleles of a gene for a cell's entire life span. Imprinting affects ...

Gene regulation refers to the mechanisms that act to induce or repress the expression of a gene. These include structural and chemical changes to the genetic material, binding of proteins to ...

GET, a novel computational model, accurately predicts gene activity by analyzing chromatin accessibility and DNA sequences across diverse human cell types.

When gene regulation fails, or specific genes are altered through mutation, the body is more predisposed to diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's, and autoimmune disorders. Now, for the first time ...

Understanding the language of gene regulation holds the potential for great benefit to human health, said Yang E. Li, assistant professor in the departments of neurosurgery and genetics at ...

These two mechanisms seemed to function separately, each playing its own role in distinct stages of the gene regulation process. Perhaps that was a mistake. In a publication in the journal Cell ...

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