A newly discovered code within DNA -- coined 'spatial grammar' -- holds a key to understanding how gene activity is encoded in the human genome. This breakthrough finding revealed a long-postulated ...

Hosted by the Department of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry, the event is held on a near-annual basis to ...

Cells are defined by the genes they express. In human cells, there are thousands of different protein coding genes, and the expression of those genes is carefully orchestrated and controlled by a ...

Origin-recognition complex (ORC) plays an unexpectedly broad role in the regulation of human cell gene expression, according to a study in the journal Cell Reports. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are ...

In biology classrooms, we often learn that genes are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins—a tidy, linear process. But gene expression in living cells is far more intricate, ...

Brian Cunniff, an assistant professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at the University of Vermont, will discuss how the subcellular positioning of mitochondria regulates gene-expression patterns ...

DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into proteins. This is the central dogma of molecular biology – a mantra taught to every biology undergraduate student to be recalled and expanded ...
