Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their ...

Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

Your skin cells are clearly different from your brain cells even though they both develop in the same person and carry the same genes. They are different because each cell type expresses a particular ...

Controlling gene expression is essential to growth, development, and sustained life. This requires regulating the spacial, temporal, and developmental expression of genes in a wide diversity of cell ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

One cannot make these kinds of statements based on relative measurements." Hwa believes this research will reframe how gene expression and regulation is taught in biology textbooks and classrooms ...

The mammalian elongation complex has remained a mystery – until researchers discovered how it controls its speed.

A new study shows that RNA splicing, not just gene expression, holds powerful clues to why some mammals live far longer than ...

Andean highlanders adapt to thin air through epigenetic gene tuning, revealing a flexible, long-term path to altitude survival.
