KYOTO – An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled across the human genome. A new study has comprehensively analyzed ...

Epigenetic silencing governs key biological processes, from flowering time in plants to preventing uncontrolled cell growth ...

Disease-resistant pigs, faster-growing fish and heat-tolerant cows are among a new class of animals that are being ...

Scientists have discovered that coordination between basic cellular processes is lost with increasing age. Gene regulation in our cells -- the decision when which proteins are produced for the various ...

Hosted by the Department of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry, the event is held on a near-annual basis to ...

In biology classrooms, we often learn that genes are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins—a tidy, linear process. But gene expression in living cells is far more intricate, ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have developed a new method to discover how DNA controls genes. Their technique, ...

The processes that keep a cell alive are constantly challenged by unpredictable changes in its environment. Cells manage to counteract these changes by employing sophisticated regulatory strategies ...
