Gene Expression
How Is Gene Expression Regulated? The amounts and types of mRNA molecules in a cell reflect the function of that cell. In fact, thousands of transcripts are produced every second in every cell.
Scientists trained AI to predict gene activity, a potentially powerful tool
Researchers hope the AI tool will aid in the development of cell-specific gene therapies to treat diseases such as cancer.

Environmental Influences on Gene Expression
Internal and external environmental factors, like gender and temperature, influence gene expression. Sex-limited traits are also autosomal. Unlike sex-influenced traits, whose expression differs ...
Repressed but ready to go: How bivalency holds developmental genes in a poised state for expression
As well as being essential in the precise packaging of DNA into the space of the nucleus, histone proteins are also the site ...
