During splicing, which occurs after transcription (i.e., the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template), the introns are removed and the exons are joined, or spliced together.

Although these different classes of RNA differ in their characteristics — such as their modal length — their distribution with respect to gene transcription start sites (TSSs) is remarkably ...

Torsional stress in chromatin plays a fundamental role in cellular functions, influencing key processes such as transcription, replication, and chromatin organization. Transcription and other ...

In a study published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, scientists from the Department of Medical Biochemistry and ...

Next, using next-generation sequencing methods, the investigators sequenced all the DNA bound by each transcription factor, creating a comprehensive data set comprising 605 transcription factors ...

A research team has identified the transcription factor Lhx2 (LIM homeobox protein 2) as a key regulator in hepatic stellate ...

New research reveals smoking's direct impact on DNA, elevating cancer risk. The study underscores the importance of quitting ...

A recent study has revealed the molecular mechanisms behind the temperature-dependent and tissue-specific accumulation of anthocyanins in peach fruits.

In a groundbreaking study, scientists from Karolinska Institutet discovered that water molecules are crucial in helping transcription factors, proteins that regulate gene activity, read the human ...

This manuscript describes an important finding of the transcriptional control of a chimeric gene transfer agents (GTA) cluster in Bartonella by a processive anti-termination factor (BrrG). The ...

“The novelty and merit of this work is that the authors demonstrate, for the first time, that [telomere transcription] occurs in response to physical exercise in a physiological system—human muscle,” ...
