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.

Rice University bioscientists use CRISPR to activate “silent” bacterium genes

In the quest for antibiotics to address the increasing issue of resistance in disease treatment, silence may be the best policy.

Study shows how new single-cell RNA-sequencing helps to analyze gene expression

One of the most crucial techniques for examining biological activity in cells is single-cell RNA sequencing, but it is constrained by the possibility that the data it produces may be inaccurate.

Study reveals how amphioxus model analyze the genesis and vertebrates evolution

The two rounds of whole-genome duplication that occurred throughout the evolution of vertebrates were followed by functional divergence in terms of regulatory circuits as well as gene expression patterns.

Researchers understand the mystery behind DNA rings

Professor Dr Anton Henssen of Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Helmholtz Association’s Max Delbrück Center (MDC) for Molecular Medicine, along with a group of researchers from the United States and the United Kingdom, have received a grant for a Cancer Grand Challenge.

Origin of chromatin in ancient microbes happened 1–2 billion years ago, study reveals

Nature’s storage solution originally emerged in ancient microbes living on Earth around one and two billion years ago, according to researchers at the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG).

Gene expression analysis helps identify genes that cause endocrine resistance in breast cancer

The most prevalent type of cancer detected in women is breast cancer (BC). BC is the second biggest cause of death among female cancer patients globally.

Study provides new knowledge on the influence of membrane proteins on plant growth

Ubiquitin is a tiny regulatory protein that can be present in most eukaryotic cells. It is important for changing the function of other proteins, and it is especially important for protein breakdown and localization inside the cell. Ubiquitin regulates these actions through ubiquitination (attaching to and detaching from a target protein).

Study identifies the regulatory function of non-coding 7S RNA

In human cells, a non-coding RNA molecule controls mitochondrial gene expression, according to new research published in the journal Cell. The research is the result of a collaboration between Sweden’s University of Gothenburg and Karolinska Institutet, as well as Germany’s University of Cologne.

Researchers conduct a comprehensive survey of the aging epigenome across the chromatin hierarchy

Highly structured chromatin encodes the program of life with only one set of genes in the core of every cell. Since various genes are stimulated at different periods of life while staying silent elsewhere, this is feasible. Some genes from a former life stage are hidden deep within the nuclear perimeter, while others manage to break out.

Study highlights the interaction between single-stranded DNA and the linker histone H1

Human DNA is neatly locked in place around a central disc in the tight quarters of the cell nucleus by H1 linker histone that helps shepherd DNA into the tidy chromatin fibers that make up chromosomes. The linker histone, on the other hand, is much more than a protein clip.

Endogenous retroviruses in the human genome are likely to pose a risk in regenerative medicine

Scientists from Kumamoto University used next-generation sequencing to analyze human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) integration sites and found that these primitive retroviruses can retrotranspose (DNA sequence insertion with RNA mediation) into iPS cells.

CRISPR-CAS9 technique that allows scientists to alter the genetic code of living creatures

Scientists were able to modify the genetic code of living beings ten years ago thanks to a breakthrough technique called CRISPR-CAS9.

Study uncovers how CD8+ T cells can divide and produce two distinct daughter cells

An immunological problem has been addressed by scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Despite being genetically identical, a CD8+ T cell can divide and produce two functionally different daughter cells.
