From the TATA box to alternative splicing and noncoding RNAs, scientists are uncovering the intricate choreography that controls gene expression. These molecular mechanisms determine when, where, and ...

When AlphaFold solved the protein-folding problem in 2020, it showed that artificial intelligence could crack one of biology’s deepest mysteries: how a string of amino acids folds itself into a ...

Professor Carsten Carlberg has published a comprehensive new textbook, Gene Regulation and Epigenetics: How Science Works, presenting the current understanding of gene regulation and epigenomics.

Cellular homeostasis and stress response are tightly coordinated processes involving a complex interplay between signaling ...

An interdisciplinary and international research group led by Dr. Volker Busskamp from the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden at the TU Dresden (CRTD) has decoded the regulatory impact on ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that a specific long non-coding RNA activates oncogenic signaling pathways in prostate cancer cells and drives tumor progression, underscoring its ...

EM, researchers showed that water mediates catalysis and important protein interactions for RNA polymerase II function in ...
