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.

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals temporal patterning network in Drosophila medulla neuroblasts

The nervous system is made up of diverse cells that arise from progenitors in a specific time-dependent pattern.

Researchers explore a new procedure to disrupt gene regulation

What role does DNA packing play in regulating gene activity? Fanka Rang and Kim de Luca, researchers from Jop Kind’s (group leader at the Hubrecht Institute and Oncode Investigator) group, created a way to monitor both gene activity and DNA packaging at the same time to address this topic.

Plant biologists determine molecular ‘blueprint’, showing how plants observe light

For survival, plants depend on their ability to detect light. Plants, unlike animals, do not have photoreceptors in their eyes to receive and transmit messages from visual inputs.

Study explores that extra dosages of genes may lead to surplus X chromosomes

One out of every 500 to 1,000 boys is born with one or more extra X chromosomes, which can cause a variety of symptoms as the extra chromosomes to including infertility, larger breasts, osteoporosis, diabetes, cardiac problems, intellectual incapacity, and cancer.

Exceptional research recordings display RNA switching “on” and “off”

RNA switches (also known as riboswitches) control which genes are turned “on” and “off”, much like a light switch. Although this appears to be a straightforward process, biologists have been astonished by the inner workings of these switches for decades.

Research highlights the factors needed to reprogramme naïve pluripotent stem cells

Following a genome-wide functional screen, scientists from the Babraham Institute’s Epigenetics research department were able to learn more about naïve stem cell reprogramming.

Study reveals genetically driven mucus pathobiology in asthma

A significant amount of genetic risk for asthma is likely mediated through altered gene expression within the airway epithelium.

New long-lived biological computers could potentially persist inside cells

Tiny biological computers made of DNA could revolutionize the way we diagnose and treat a slew of diseases, once the technology is fully fleshed out.

Experts investigate the activity of genes in dog brain tissues

Upon examining the gene activity in dog brain tissues, it was revealed that a major part is active in every animal.

Transcriptomic analysis of Alzheimer's patients reveals early organelle dysfunction in astrocytes

An international group of researchers led by the UAB analyzed the genes that are expressed in neurons and astrocytes based on data from 800 individuals and compared what happens in Alzheimer's patients and in people without diagnosed dementia.

New map tracks cellular trajectories across mouse embryogenensis

Scientists have mapped out the key molecular changes that orchestrate how embryonic mouse cells differentiate into the diverse cell types that will ultimately form all the different tissues and organs of the adult animal.

Researchers discover protein that turbocharges gene response

Researchers are attempting to figure out what happens when our genes are switched “on,” for many years.

Research shows DLX2 protein regenerate astrocytes into neural stem-like cells

A single protein may turn adult brain cells termed astrocytes into stem-like cells that create neurons and other cell types, according to UT Southwestern researchers.

Placenta plays an active role in the delivery of maternal vitamin D to the fetus

Scientists have shed new light on the role of the placenta in managing the relationships between maternal vitamin D and fetal development, according to a study published today in eLife.

Researchers identify the underlying molecular mechanism for development of chronic pain

One epigenetic factor as well as one organic anion transporter (OAT1), whose function in the nervous system was hitherto unknown, contribute to the development of chronic pain.

Study takes a deep dive into the molecular biology of the brain in bipolar disorder patients

In a comprehensive study involving one of the largest-ever samples of post-mortem brains, scientists at the Lieber Institute for Brain Development, in collaboration with researchers at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health, have pinpointed significant differences in gene expression in two specific regions of the brains of hundreds of patients who had bipolar disorder.
