The answer lies in transcription factors. Experiments have shown that ... Evolutionary studies have shown that although the DNA-binding motif is highly conserved among plants and animals, the ...

A new experimental method allows researchers to dissect how certain proteins, called pioneer factors, can bind to selective ...

Every cell in our body contains the same DNA, yet liver cells are different from brain cells, and skin cells differ from ...

C: The network shows representative TF regulons in module 2 containing binding motifs, transcription factors and associated target genes. D and E: Regulon STAT1 and its putative target (LETM1 ...

RNA modulates transcription factor binding to DNA, though the subsequent effect on transcription remains unclear. The study ...

However, in the presence of the transcription factor Sp1, a range of band sizes ... Sp1 is a protein that has multiple zinc-finger motifs, or regions known to bind to zinc; however, the inclusion ...

"The sequence motif has a more potent influence on transcription than any DNA motif identified upstream of the transcriptional start site," Voichek explains. The motif is evolutionarily conserved ...

Astrocytes in the brain exhibit significant regional diversity, but the mechanisms controlling their heterogeneity remain ...

Every cell in the human body has the same DNA, yet liver cells differ from brain cells, and skin cells from muscle cells.

Researchers at the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center have uncovered a key reason why a typically normal ...

Yet remarkably few studies have solely focused on the recurring motifs in Hitchcock’s films. Michael Walker remedies this surprising gap in Hitchcock literature with an innovative and in-depth study ...

The study stated that whereas vapers and smokers differ in various differentially methylated regions (DMRs), they share ...
