In eukaryotes, the tight or loose packaging of the genes in chromatin (DNA plus specific proteins) can control whether the genes can be expressed to form their encoded product. Chromatin is usually ...

The mammalian elongation complex has remained a mystery – until researchers discovered how it controls its speed.

Origin-recognition complex, or ORC, plays an unexpectedly broad role in the regulation of human cell gene expression, according to a study in the journal Cell Reports. This is the first detailed study ...

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 ...

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 ...

On Wednesday afternoon, Haifan Lin, the director of the Yale Stem Cell Center, discussed his innovative research findings in stem cell gene expression and regulation at Brown’s 2025 Mac V. Edds ...
