Gene Expression News and Research

RSS

Gene Expression is the process by which a gene gets turned on in a cell to make RNA and proteins. Gene expression may be measured by looking at the RNA, or the protein made from the RNA, or what the protein does in a cell.

New Insights Into How Genetic Variants Impact Gene Expression

The Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, in collaboration with the University of California San Francisco and Stanford University, has recently published a study that is the largest of its kind to focus on ancestry correlations with biomedical traits.

From Clocks to Cells: Unleashing the Potential of Dual Oscillatory Signaling

Christian Huygens recorded his observations of the synchronization of two pendulum clocks in 1665. It takes precise quantitative control to properly regulate oscillatory dynamics, which are seen in essential biological processes including circadian clocks, segmentation, and transcription factor responses in addition to physical systems.
