Thus, gene expression in eukaryotes is highly variable, depending on the type of activators involved and what signals are present to control binding. The Role of Chromatin.

While this study was performed in yeast, these cells faithfully recapitulate many basic functions, making them an excellent model for the study of gene expression in eukaryotes. Like yeast, humans are ...

Environmental DNA. Although the mechanisms are unclear, cells are known to pull in external DNA molecules under the right conditions. That means DNA in the environment—from shed skin, mucus, spawned ...

It’s based on a protein called Fanzor, and this new finding is the first programmable RNA-guided system discovered in eukaryotes. The new RNA-editing system is described in a study published ...

For the first time, researchers have developed a genome-scale way to map the regulatory role of transcription factors, proteins that play a key role in gene expression and determining a plant's ...

Scientists investigate disease targets by studying gene expression data often obtained by assaying entire cell populations. For instance, researchers used bulk RNA sequencing to discover druggable ...

A study published in the journal Cell marks the first reported instance of generative AI designing synthetic molecules that can successfully control gene expression in healthy mammalian cells.

Altogether, we are still far from a fundamental understanding of how and why complex multicellularity evolved in eukaryotes, and which features were most important for major morphological transitions.

From these gene expression profiles, evolutionary neuroscientists can identify a wealth of detailed differences between individual neurons. They can use those differences to determine how ...

Gene expression leading to alterations in the DNA caused by asbestos exposure may explain the development of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), a rare and aggressive cancer. By analyzing public ...

The differences in gene expression suggested that the reptilian DVR and the mammalian neocortex evolved independently from different regions of the brain. “The 2018 paper was really a landmark paper ...
