We often take facts we learn — like the fact that transcription factors bind to DNA — for granted. Or maybe not. See how researchers used DNA footprinting and gel shift assays to prove this idea.

Using silencer-seq, the Stark lab identified 800+ silencers and the transcription factor Saft in fruit flies, enhancing our ...

This process involves two main steps: transcription and translation. During transcription, the DNA sequence of a gene is copied into a complementary RNA molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA). This ...

This basic system affects gene expression ... Furthermore, the transcription and translation sites of eukaryotic DNA are separated from one another by the nuclear membrane. Given these ...

Researchers at Kyushu University have revealed how spatial distance between specific regions of DNA is linked to bursts of gene activity.

Thousands of scientists and plant breeders have since used that genome in their own research on the genetic makeup underlying ...
