Heme binding to a bacterial transcription factor is critical for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) signaling, report researchers from Japan. Heme binding promotes the reaction of H2S with the transcription ...

DNA methylation in bacteria, primarily involving the addition of methyl groups to adenine or cytosine residues, constitutes a pivotal epigenetic mechanism that modulates gene expression without ...

In a study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution which included the involvement of UAB Professor Jaime Martínez Urtaza, researchers discovered that losing genes rather than gaining them can favor ...

The movement of genetic material between organisms that aren't directly related is a significant driver of evolution, ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

This study reveals how gene expression patterns uncover molecular pathways linking comorbidities, enhancing treatment ...

Differences among genetically identical individuals can be explained using expression levels of just a handful of genes, suggesting that environmental variation can be functionally analyzed.

Researchers from Academia Sinica, Taiwan and the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen, Germany, have revealed how the ...

Thought too hard to do, a new platform evolved proteins in mammalian cells, which could help researchers design drugs that ...

A new study has found that ORC plays a broad, unexpected role in regulating human cell gene expression and chromatin ...
