The book builds from the basic relationship between promoters, operators and repressors that is at the heart of the decision between bacteriophage lambda's two lifestyles, lysis and lysogeny. The ...

Scientists have found intriguing new details about a previously missing critical factor in gene expression. An ancient protein called NDF found in all human tissues enhances gene activation and may be ...

Simple epithelial cells synthesize a different set of keratins than epidermal cells. In experiments reported in this manuscript, we show that the base level of keratin expression in simple epithelial ...

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...
