Living cells are fundamentally nonequilibrium systems, meaning they constantly spend energy through seemingly one-way, ...

A team of scientists has discovered surprising connections among gene activity, genome packing, and genome-wide motions, revealing aspects of the genome's organization that directly affect gene ...

The YABBY gene family comprises plant‐specific transcription factors that play pivotal roles in defining lateral organ polarity and promoting organogenesis in seed plants. These genes ...

When a gene is active, there is cellular machinery that transcribes the sequence of that gene from DNA into messenger RNA. This is a fundamental cellular process that is essential to the proper ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...

Recent studies reveal that changes in gene regulation, not just gene sequences, are crucial for the evolution of animal ...

A cell-free genomics approach silences cellular noise and reveals transcription drivers, improving our understanding of a ...

Scientists at IOCB Prague are uncovering new details of gene transcription. They have identified a previously unknown molecular mechanism by which the transcription of genetic information from ...

Research into transcription factors deepen understanding of the 'language' of the genome, offering insights into human development. New research has uncovered more about the complexity of human gene ...

A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant genome evolution—a discovery that could pave the way for more precise ...

Synaptic transmission is an energy hog. It requires neurons to tap ATP reserves to respond to incoming signals. How do they pull this off, thousands to millions of times per day? A new study ...
