EPFL researchers have uncovered how transcription factor dosage reshapes cell identity, showing that even small differences ...

Rajshekhar Gaji was staring at something that should not exist. Under his microscope, parasites that should have been ...

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have invented a new single-cell nascent RNA sequencing technique that lets them observe the timing of gene and enhancer activation in ...

A research team introduces a new large-scale study on human transcription factors combining two state-of-the art interactomics methods that allow rapid identification of protein-protein interactions ...

Engineers have created DIAL, a modular system that precisely sets and edits protein levels in synthetic gene circuits. By ...

Molecular biologists have long believed that the beginning of a gene launched the process of transcription—the process by ...

Inflammation is a fundamental aspect of the immune system that helps control the spread of pathogens through a variety of cell signaling methods. Yet, in its attempt to “do good,” there are several ...

Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants overproducing the E2Fa-DPa transcription factor have two distinct cell-specific phenotypes: some cells divide ectopically and others are stimulated to endocycle.

Some cells just don’t get the respect they deserve. In fact, most cells don’t. Over 99 percent of the innumerable cells on our planet exist in a state of quiescence. Pick up a handful of soil: it ...

Light, in a quality- and quantity-dependent fashion, induces nuclear import of the plant photoreceptors phytochrome, promotes interaction of phytochrome A (phyA) and phyB with transcription factors ...
