Histone exchange involves the partial or complete exchange of nucleosomes for newer or altered components. This process occurs sequentially through the removal and the replacement of the H2A–H2B ...

The corona pandemic has ensured that the term "mRNA" is now also known to a large public beyond laboratories and lecture halls. However, the molecule is much more than an important component of a ...

This image illustrates the process of gene transcription within a cell. The DNA double helix unwinds to expose a specific sequence, allowing RNA polymerase to synthesize a complementary pre-mRNA ...

DNA, the long polymer curled up inside our cells, is often described as the instructions for life. But those instructions are stored in DNA’s chemical code, and reading that code requires the ...

Gene regulation underpins nearly every biological process—from cell development to responses to environmental changes, and understanding it can provide insights into cancer and other diseases. Now, ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, Arizona State University Professor Michael Lynch joins a multi-institute group of researchers to investigate transcription error rates ...
