Scientists have found a new process that happens when an active gene is transcribed from DNA into messenger RNA.. | Cell And ...

Scientists used the auxin-inducible degron 2 system on CTCF, bringing the novel approach to bear on a fundamental protein. CTCF is a critical protein known to play various roles in key biological ...

DNA can be thought of as a vast library that stores all genetic information. Cells do not use this information all at once.

Transcription factors are an essential part of gene expression. Some of these proteins are known as master regulators, and they can have an impact on many different biochemical pathways and processes ...

Scientists at IOCB Prague are uncovering new details of gene transcription. They have identified a previously unknown ...

A cell protein previously believed only to provide a scaffolding for DNA has also been shown to directly influence DNA transcription into RNA—the first step of the process by which an organism's ...

Some things just go together like “rock and roll” and “fish and chips” or, in molecular biology, “transcription factors” and the “nearby genes they regulate.” The standard, simplified story goes like ...
