The research team introduced two key quantitative concepts - the transcriptional threshold  and jumping index  - to establish ...

In a new study published in Cell Reports, researchers at the University of Freiburg reveal how a disordered protein segment ...

This sophisticated genomic mechanism is estimated to have developed from 650 to 700 million years ago, 150 million years ...

An elegant screening strategy unveils a molecular actor that connects widespread changes in mRNA processing with a nutrient-sensing protein modification.

Life depends on genes being switched on and off at exactly the right time. Even the simplest living organisms do this, but ...

Constitutive splicing is where every intron in the primary RNA transcript is removed as transcription progresses along the gene. Alternative splicing is where exon or intron skipping can occur.

A recent study reveals how grapevine cells adapt to sugar starvation by reprogramming their DNA methylation and gene ...

Even the simplest living organisms do this, but usually over short distances across the DNA sequence, with the on/off switch typically right next to a gene. This basic form of genomic regulation ...
