Many eukaryotic genes have a conserved promoter sequence called the TATA box, located 25 to 35 base pairs upstream of the transcription start site.

Presented here are results on the efficiency of using synthetic crRNA and tracrRNA to introduce gene editing events when co-transfected with a plasmid expressing Cas9. We explored the use of ...

A research team at KAIST has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins ... by inositol metabolism enzymes serve as vital secondary messengers in eukaryotic cell signaling ...

Horizontal gene transfer The relationships between the immune systems of humans and bacteria are especially interesting, Whiteley says, because these four pathways are likely to have been passed to ...

This process has been an important factor in eukaryotic evolution, yet the number and timing of these events remains unresolved. One of the main results of secondary endosymbiosis has been the ...

The eukaryotic cell emerged as an evolutionary algorithmic phase transition Eukaryogenesis happened abruptly, led by the tension of increasing gene length and the constraints on producing longer ...

The regulation of mRNA transcription plays a key role in relaying signals from the environment and during development into the gene expression program of a cell. During transcription initiation, a ...

Colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Scientists created the world’s first synthetic eukaryotic genome from S. cerevisiae and a new-to-nature tRNA neochromosome ...

This article aims to describe the regulatory mechanisms that control gene expression in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
