Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation play a key role in regulating gene expression. Emerging evidence suggests ...

Salk Institute researchers find new mode of epigenetic targeting, showing for the first time that genetic sequences can direct new DNA methylation patterns in plants LA JOLLA (November 21, 2025)—All ...

For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

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 ...

“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 ...

Deep-learning model decodes the regulatory effects of DNA changes ...

A new technique brings CRISPR-mediated gene editing together with spatial transcriptomics and imaging to study the ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Macrophages are the specialized phagocytic cells that respond to toxic particle depositions to exert inflammatory and clearance responses. These long-lived immune cells engulf foreign substances like ...

SRF is a transcription factor directly controlling the expression of at least 200-300 genes, regulating cell growth, proliferation, apoptosis, and motility, and is indispensable for organ development, ...
