Rewrite the textbooks: Transcription is bidirectional
Genes that contain instructions for making proteins make up less than 2% of the human genome. Yet, for unknown reasons, most of our genome is transcribed into RNA. view more (2009-01-26)
Cocaine-linked genes enhance behavioral effects of addiction
New research sheds light on how cocaine regulates gene expression in a crucial reward region of the brain to elicit long-lasting changes in behavior. view more (2009-05-14)
Towards a unified model of transcription termination
Dr. David Bentley (University of Colorado School of Medicine) and colleagues have developed a new, unified model for transcription termination by RNA Poymerase II. view more (2006-04-07)
Making sense of the genome
Almost every week we hear of a new genome sequence being completed, yet turning sequence information into knowledge about what individual genes do is very difficult. An article published in Journal of Biology this week will simplify this task, as it describes a new online tool that dramatically improves predictions of how individual genes are... view more...

Cancer: Another step towards medication
The gene Myc is an important factor for the growth of organisms by cell division. It causes the production of a protein which, as a transcription factor, controls the expression of up to 15 % of all human genes. view more (2009-03-18)
Gene regulation in humans is closer than expected to simple organisms
Gene networks are some of the most basic features of a living organism. An external or internal stimulus activates some genes, which in turn control others genes whose activity turns on or off various biological processes (such as the cell cycle, energy production, DNA repair, cellular suicide etc). view more (2007-08-30)
Protein binds whenever it can
Dutch cancer researcher Joost Martens has discovered that the protein p300, which plays an important role in the correct transcription of DNA to RNA, can bind to DNA at several sites. The protein can also occupy a position in various complexes, each with its own protein composition. This knowledge is important for gaining a better understanding of... view more... (2003-06-24)
NIA uses Genomatix in stem cell research, suggests novel transcription factors for stemness
Genomatix Software with businesses in Munich, Germany and Ann Arbor, Michigan released today that the group of Kenneth R. Boheler at the National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health, Baltimore, Md published some remarkable work on embryonic stem (ES) cells. view more (2008-03-04)
Cracking the genetic code for control of gene expression
Molecular biologists, developmental biologists and computer scientists at the Universtity of Helsinki, Finland, came together to advance towards cracking the code for how gene expression is controlled. view more (2006-01-13)
Honey bee genome holds clues to social behavior
By studying the humble honey bee, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have come a step closer to understanding the molecular basis of social behavior in humans. view more (2006-10-24)
A brave new "old world" of RNA
A new function for RNA, which further elucidates how genes are expressed and regulated, is described on the 25th of November issue of the journal Nature. view more (2004-11-22)
Researchers identify cancer-causing gene in many colon cancers
Demonstrating that despite the large number of cancer-causing genes already identified, many more remain to be found, scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have linked a previously unsuspected gene, CDK8, to colon cancer. view more (2008-09-15)
How RNA polymerase II gets the go-ahead for gene transcription
All cells perform certain basic functions. Each must selectively transcribe parts of the DNA that makes up its genome into RNAs that specify the structure of proteins. view more (2009-10-12)
Channels of cellular communication
A potential new channel of communication between different cellular compartments has been discovered by researchers at the University of Leeds. Dr Jim Deuchars` group show how the protein P2X7, which forms a channel known to mediate ion movements between cells and their external environment, may also work internally, facilitating communication... view more...

UC researchers find new ways to regulate genes, reduce heart damage
Researchers at the University of Cincinnati (UC) are looking for ways to reduce or prevent heart damage by starting where the problem often begins: in the genes. view more (2008-06-23)
Abnormal glutamine repeats interfere with key transcription factor, leading to neurodegeneration
Although repeating sequences of three nucleotides encoding some of the bodies' 20 amino acids are a normal part of protein composition, abnormal expansion of trinucleotide repeats is the known cause of multiple inherited neurodegenerative disorders, including Huntington disease. view more (2007-11-14)
Researchers create mouse lacking key inflammation gene
In a paper published yesterday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS), researchers from Boston University School of Dental Medicine generated a mouse model exhibiting reduced inflammation. view more (2006-09-07)
What Are Muscle Proteins Doing in the Nucleus?
The proteins actin and myosin have a firm place in the muscles where they are responsible for contraction. While recent investigations have shown that they are also found in the nucleus, it has been unclear to date just what they are doing there. Now an international team of investigators headed by Professor Dr. Ingrid Grummt, head of the Division... view more... (2005-02-01)
Discovery in plant virus may help prevent HIV and similar viruses
In a study that could lead to new ways to prevent infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and similar organisms, Purdue University researchers have been able to genetically modify a plant to halt reproduction of a related virus. view more (2007-08-01)
Evolution is driven by gene regulation
It is not just what's in your genes, it's how you turn them on that accounts for the difference between species - at least in yeast - according to a report by Yale researchers in this week's issue of Science. view more (2007-08-10)
