Gene Expression News and Research

RSS

Gene Expression is the process by which a gene gets turned on in a cell to make RNA and proteins. Gene expression may be measured by looking at the RNA, or the protein made from the RNA, or what the protein does in a cell.

Study Sheds Light on the Genetic Basis for Body Plan Development in the Starlet Sea Anemone

Lacking bones, brains, and even a complete gut, the body plans of simple animals like sea anemones appear to have little in common with humans and their vertebrate kin.

Deep-Sequencing Identifies Over 10,000 Unique Genes in Cotton

TEs (transposable elements), particularly LTRs, are recognized to play a crucial role in defining basic genome organization and affecting functional gene expression. Insertion of TE or LTR fragments may also result in the formation of new transcription start sites (TSSs) in the host genome.

Identifying Drugs to Put the Brakes On Accelerated Aging From HIV Infection, Treatment

Antiretroviral cocktails can make human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, undetectable and untransmittable, but both the virus and its treatment can also accelerate aging of bone and muscle.

Research Uncovers the Biology Underpinning a Rare Genetic Mutation Linked to Painlessness

The biology underpinning a rare genetic mutation that allows its carrier to live virtually pain-free, heal more rapidly and experience reduced anxiety and fear, has been uncovered by new research from UCL.

From Clocks to Cells: Unleashing the Potential of Dual Oscillatory Signaling

Christian Huygens recorded his observations of the synchronization of two pendulum clocks in 1665. It takes precise quantitative control to properly regulate oscillatory dynamics, which are seen in essential biological processes including circadian clocks, segmentation, and transcription factor responses in addition to physical systems.
