In biology classrooms, we often learn that genes are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins—a tidy, linear process. But gene expression in living cells is far more intricate, ...

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 ...

When introducing genes into yeast to make it produce drugs and other useful substances, it is also necessary to reliably switch the production on or off. Researchers have found three gene regulation ...

“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 ...

A U.S. regulator reportedly plans to unveil a faster approach to approving custom gene-editing treatments for rare diseases.

Canada could benefit from looking at how Argentina and others have approached gene editing in livestock and its effect on ...

Ants have evolved an acute sense of smell, which requires each sensory neuron to choose one scent receptor out of hundreds.
