New research suggests that DNA sequences historically considered to be "junk" have had an overlooked role in gene expression ...

A portion of our genome that was once dismissed as being “junk” may actually play an important role in regulating gene expression, new research suggests. According to the work of an international team ...

A research team led by Dr. Xiaoqin Liu at the Peking University Institute of Advanced Agricultural Sciences has discovered and characterized a native ...

The existence of distinct initiation patterns for the same DNA sequence after MED25 versus GFZP recruitment is illustrated by the promoter of the Mcm3 gene and an intronic sequence within the ...

A new international study suggests that ancient viral DNA embedded in our genome, which were long dismissed as genetic "junk" ...

AAP FactCheck emailed Professor Dalgleish to ask for his evidence, but did not receive a response. SV40 is an abbreviation ...

Objective Deep venous thrombosis (DVT), a potentially life-threatening condition with a high clinical incidence, represents a ...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted orphan drug designation to a new gene therapy for Amyotrophic Lateral ...

Every living cell must interpret its genetic code—a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions. A new study by researchers from the Center for Theoretical Biological ...

DNA sequences that regulate expression of the insulin gene are located within a region spanning ~400 bp that flank the transcription start site. This region, the insulin promoter, contains a ...

Closely spaced, C-terminal ZnFs (ZnF456) recognize a specific DNA sequence, TGACCA, which is present in embryonic and fetal globin gene promoters but lacking in the adult β-globin promoter ...

ADP-ribosylation of promoter DNA regulates transcription of genes in stationary growth phase, including alternative ribosome subunits and the ESX-3 Type 7 Secretion System.
