With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells. How genes are turned on ...

MYC‑driven tumors silence innate immune alarms by clearing R‑loop–derived signals, exposing a new therapeutic angle for targeting MYC without broad inhibition.

Research into transcription factors deepen understanding of the 'language' of the genome, offering insights into human development. New research has uncovered more about the complexity of human gene ...

In biology classrooms, we often learn that genes are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins—a tidy, linear process. But gene expression in living cells is far more intricate, ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...
