Most eukaryotes also make use of small noncoding RNAs to regulate gene expression. For example, the enzyme Dicer finds double-stranded regions of RNA and cuts out short pieces that can serve in a ...

Our genes contain all the instructions our body needs to function, but their expression must be finely regulated to guarantee ...

Our research in this area includes uncovering fundamental mechanisms that regulate how genes are turned on and off in normal cells and how the misregulation of these mechanisms can lead to cancer, as ...

GET, a novel computational model, accurately predicts gene activity by analyzing chromatin accessibility and DNA sequences ...

An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled across the human ...

The role of RNA in information transfer and catalysis highlights its dual functionalities. Our laboratory has a long-standing interest in RNA folding, recognition, and catalysis. We are especially ...

A study conducted by a research team at the Crick Institute identified important genes on the Y chromosome that regulate ...

A new study has comprehensively analyzed “cis-regulatory elements” (CREs), which are the DNA sequences that regulate gene transcription. This work sheds light on how these elements contribute ...

RFK Jr.'s comments about the gene-editing technology raise a question about how he would regulate it as head of HHS.

A gene previously linked to intellectual disability has been found to regulate learning and memory in mice. The gene, called ...

A single gene that regulates testosterone levels in a "crazy" species of shore bird controls the development of three wildly ...
