Researchers have uncovered a previously hidden layer of complexity in how genes are activated, showing that water molecules ...

(Memphis, Tenn.—January 25, 2023) CTCF is a critical protein known to play various roles in key biological processes such as transcription. Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital used a ...

Transcription factors are an essential part of gene expression. Some of these proteins are known as master regulators, and they can have an impact on many different biochemical pathways and processes ...

When a gene is active, there is cellular machinery that transcribes the sequence of that gene from DNA into messenger RNA. This is a fundamental cellular process that is essential to the proper ...

Researchers have reported three major discoveries: water molecules actively driving gene transcription, a large-scale map of 90,000 human gene interactions, and a single-molecule enzyme screening ...
