Science news articles about 'dna transcription'

  • RNA emerges from DNA's shadow

    ... Sciences in the US. Another important aspect of RNA research lies in the interaction between DNA transcription, and the physical structure both of the membrane-bound cell nucleus and the genome ...
  • Untangling DNA regulation

    ... regression could be partly mediated by changes in chromatin. This packaging is believed to help control DNA transcription because the more tightly wound the chromatin is, the less accessible DNA is to ...
  • Reversing the conventional DNA wisdom

    In work that represents a fundamental shift in scientists' understanding of DNA transcription, MIT researchers have found evidence that two DNA copying machines frequently start from the same site and ...
  • How defects in 1 gene cause 3 distinct and devastating human diseases

    ... have gained new insight into how seemingly small differences in a single protein involved in DNA transcription and repair can lead to strikingly different genetic disorders in humans. The two studies ...
  • Protein found to promote antibiotic resistance in a common food-borne pathogen

    ... , published June 6th in the open-access journal PLoS Pathogens, explains that Mfd, a protein involved in DNA transcription and repair, plays an important role in the development ...
  • Simple twists of fate

    ... PLoS Biology reports on some of the molecular gymnastics performed by a protein involved in regulating DNA transcription. Using state-of-the art tools, researchers observed the shape and behavior of ...

  • Genetic blueprint revealed for kidney design and formation

    ... cells form structures in the adult kidney. The researchers identified genes that regulate DNA transcription, establish functioning developmental processes, and are involved in pattern specification, ...
  • How cells change gears: New insights published in Nature Genetics

    ... specific locations on the cell's DNA. Once bound to DNA, transcription factors work to either ... turned-off or "knocked down" 52 transcription factors, one at a time, in order to study their individual ...
  • Scientists from University of Hawaii at Manoa find genetic marker

    ... close to the BNC2 (basonuclin 2) gene that encodes a protein which plays a role in regulation of DNA transcription and is highly expressed in reproductive tissues. This marker is present among 32% of ...
  • Binge drinkers let down guard against infection

    ... on alcohol's inhibitory effect on NF-κB, a protein complex that controls DNA transcription and which is known to control expression of some of the cytokines that are inhibited by alcohol. Alcohol's ...
  • Stanford scientists turn stem cells into precursors for sperm, eggs

    ... the DAZ family, the genes are unusual in that they encode RNA-binding proteins rather than the DNA transcription factors more commonly known to regulate cellular events. In the current study, the ...
