which unwinds DNA and allows transcription to occur. When the researchers probed the specific pattern of histone methylation at human cryptic sites, they found that it matches the patterns discovered ...

Altogether, multicellular organisms like humans have thousands ... is handled by proteins known as transcription factors, which bind to the regulatory DNA, thereby generating instructions for ...

If our genes are so similar, what really makes a eukaryote different from a prokaryote, or a human ... transcription in eukaryotes is a result of the combined effects of structural properties (how ...

The central dogma of biology, the genetic information flowing from DNA to RNA to protein, involves numerous processes such as transcription, RNA processing, translation and protein activity control, ...

How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA.

specifically transcription factors, read and regulate the human genome. Only approximately 1% of our genome consists of genes, sections of DNA that specify the structure and function of proteins.

This may have significant implications for human health and lifespan. More information: Endogenous aldehyde-induced ...

The researchers, in a study published Feb. 25 in Nature Immunology, found that a DNA transcription-regulating protein called ... field by showing that the greater regenerative potential of human ...
