Origin-recognition complex (ORC) plays an unexpectedly broad role in the regulation of human cell gene expression, according to a study in the journal Cell Reports. "This is the first detailed study ...

Organisms must rapidly adapt to environmental changes to survive. They maintain cellular homeostasis by adjusting cellular functions in response to external conditions. Metabolites, which are closely ...

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

For microbial life, flux is everything, with the average flux towards new cells, better known as the average specific (or per capita) growth rate, as the definition of long-term fitness 1. So microbes ...

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 ...

The research field of 'cellular IRESes' lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the clear characterization of these starting points for the ribosome-mediated ...

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 ...

A gene expression test can help prevent unnecessary chemotherapy in breast cancer patients, yet its use in the Netherlands ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning organism also requires precise instructions about when, where, and how ...
