Take a typical cell, such as a red blood cell. Each gene within that cell has a coding region. This region encodes the information used to make a particular protein, such as the hemoglobin in the ...

For an activating TF, the effector domain recruits RNA polymerase II, the eukaryotic mRNA-producing polymerase, to begin transcription of the corresponding gene. Some activating TFs even turn on ...

More information: Dan Liu et al, A systematic survey of LU domain-containing proteins reveals a novel human gene, LY6A, which encodes the candidate ortholog of mouse Ly-6A/Sca-1 and is aberrantly ...

The study found that lead canine association was within the gene DENN domain containing 1B (DENND1B) and each copy of the ...

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a polygenic disorder influenced by multiple genes, but their specific roles in the progression of disease remain unknown. To address this gap ...

Researchers have identified an ancient RNA-guided system that can target DNA, potentially expanding the genome-editing toolbox.
