If our genes are so similar, what really makes a eukaryote different from a prokaryote, or a human from E. coli? The answer lies in the difference in gene expression and regulation used. Regulation of ...

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 ...

A research team has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive phenomena such as cancer development, metastasis, tissue differentiation from stem ...

As winter approaches, humans in the higher latitudes might beat the cold by snuggling up under a pile of blankets or booking a timeshare in sunny Florida. Similarly, some animals cope with seasonal ...
