Exportin-1, the researchers found, forms a link between the two. By tethering transcription factors—and with them, hundreds of genes—to nuclear pore proteins, genes are moved to the edge of the ...

looked at two closely related species of fruit fly—Drosophila mauritiana and Drosophila simulans. They found that a slight ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

It is well recognized that environmental exposures, particularly early-life stress, can contribute to epigenetic alterations ...

You may have heard of the fantastic-sounding "dark side of the genome." This poorly studied fraction of DNA, known as ...

A new study has found that certain bacteria living in the nose may influence how likely someone is to get a COVID-19 infection. The research reveals that certain types of nasal bacteria can affect the ...

A new study focused on transcription-replication conflicts, which occur when mechanisms responsible for gene expression and genome duplication collide.

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed the first-ever method of detecting ribonucleic acid, or RNA, ...
