Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have invented a new single-cell nascent RNA sequencing technique that lets them observe the timing of gene and enhancer activation in ...

"We picture that the communication between an enhancer and a promoter is a condensate-type, transient structure, and RNA is part of that. This is an important piece of work in building the ...

Salk researchers have identified a new set of molecules that fuel the growth of tumors in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the most common type of pancreatic cancer. The new research findings ...

The human genome contains about 23,000 genes, but only a fraction of those genes are turned on inside a cell at any given time. The complex network of regulatory elements that controls gene expression ...

When the Nanog gene (green region) is inactive, one of the three enhancer regions is spatially far away. When active, the same enhancer region makes close contact, interacting with the other enhancers ...

Researchers have used a new method, ReapTEC, to identify rare types of helper T cells that are associated with immune disorders. The immune system is largely made up of a type of white blood cell ...
