If our genes are so similar, what really makes a eukaryote different from a prokaryote, or a human from E. coli? The answer lies in the difference in gene expression and regulation used.

Next, we turn to the regulation of genes ... Interestingly, in eukaryotes, the default state of gene expression is "off" rather than "on," as in prokaryotes. Why is this the case?

A research team has identified the core gene ... expression in animal cells. Inositol phosphate metabolites produced by inositol metabolism enzymes serve as vital secondary messengers in ...

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 ...

Our research program focuses on two primary points of control: transcription of messenger RNA (mRNA) and post-transcriptional regulation of mRNAs by microRNAs (miRNAs). A critical control point for ...

A research team at KAIST has identified the core gene expression networks regulated ... enzymes serve as vital secondary messengers in eukaryotic cell signaling systems and are broadly implicated ...

This is a key point of regulation of eukaryotic gene expression. Here, several factors such as promoters and enhancers alter the ability of RNA polymerase to transcribe the mRNA, thus modulating ...

A research team at KAIST has identified the core gene expression networks regulated ... enzymes serve as vital secondary ...

The course explores gene regulation in eukaryotes from nuclear organisation to cytosolic ... along with the role of RNA processing and post-transcriptional regulation in gene expression, and their ...

They seek to understand how cells modulate gene expression by modulating chromatin and DNA organization. Fred Hutch researchers have done pioneering work in the areas of gene regulation, chromatin ...
