Sequence-specific transcription factors are considered the most important and diverse mechanisms of gene regulation in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells (Pulverer, 2005). In eukaryotes ...

Imprinting is yet another process involved in eukaryotic gene regulation; this process involves the silencing of one of the two alleles of a gene for a cell's entire life span. Imprinting affects ...

TFIID function appears to dominate gene regulation at 90% of the measurable genome, mostly affecting so-called housekeeping genes, and SAGA appears to regulate 10% – largely genes involved in stress ...
