If our genes are so similar, what really makes a eukaryote different from a prokaryote, or a human from E. coli? The answer lies in the difference in gene expression and regulation used.

The answers to such questions lie in the study of gene expression. Thus, this collection or articles begins by showing how a quiet, well-guarded string of DNA is expressed to make RNA, and how the ...

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product. These products are often proteins, but in non-protein coding genes such as ...

Sizeable differences in gene expression means and ratios—based solely upon where genes are located on a plasmid (gene syntax)—have been discovered by researchers at Dartmouth College.

The Gene Expression Core was founded in 1994 and promotes translational, multidisciplinary CF research by furnishing expertise concerning recombinant CFTR and other proteins relevant to CF disease ...

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA).

The tiny strings of RNA promote translation of a protein implicated in cancer, a hint they could regulate gene expression in more ways than previously thought. Holly Barker is a freelance journalist ...

Constitutive splicing is where every intron in the primary RNA transcript is removed as transcription progresses along the gene. Alternative splicing is where exon or intron skipping can occur.

The fresh data come from a pooled analysis of two studies of LX2006, a gene therapy designed to treat cardiac dysfunction in FA by increasing expression of the heart muscle protein frataxin.
