Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

Some sequences in the genome cause genes to be switched on or off. Until now, each of these gene switches, or so-called enhancers, was thought to have its own place on the DNA. Different enhancers are ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to ...

Vitamin C is a key nutritional component in fruits, yet its concentration often changes dramatically as fruits develop.

Scientists identified 473 human genes that act as genetic “on/off switches,” shaping disease risk through tissue-specific or universal patterns regulated by DNA changes and hormones. Study: ...

Every cell in our body starts out with the same set of genetic instructions, or DNA. Yet only some of these genes are expressed in each cell, leading to the production of proteins that perform the ...
