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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Triglia discusses her research at the intersection of genetics, epigenetics, single-cell genomics and computational biology.

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Plant bioengineering—in which plant genes are modified to include desirable characteristics—is the key to solutions for problems concerning crop resilience and food security. Elements like gene ...

New method ASPEN accurately maps gene activity from each parent in individual cells, overcoming noise in data. It revealed ...

Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene function that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence, plays a pivotal role in understanding the complex interplay between genetics and the environment ...

A team led by UC Davis poultry scientist Huaijun Zhou has created the first comprehensive map of gene regulation in breeds of chickens. The map could be a resource for finding resistance to H5N1 ...

After 10 years, members of the 4D Nucleome consortium have successfully completed the first phase of a project that aims to map the 3D organization of the human genome and how it changes over time, ...
