To support drug discovery, a new study has revealed fundamental features of the transcription cycle in the bacteria that causes tuberculosis.

Transcription termination in Escherichia coli is a finely tuned process that ensures precise regulation of gene expression. It involves both intrinsic and factor-dependent mechanisms. Intrinsic ...

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene expression. Scientists have now developed a way to silence that cellular noise, ...

New research published online February 23 in Genome Research suggests that jumping genes can influence phenotypic variation by meddling with transcription of a variety of genes, even at long genomic ...
