Wageningen researchers have discovered that a vital plant protein originated more than 600 million years ago, long before the ...

Mediator is a common target of DNA-binding transcription factors (TFs) and also interacts with various Pre-Initiation Complex (PIC) factors. The PIC consists of TFIIA, TFIIB, TFIID, TFIIE, TFIIF, ...

A multi-institutional team of investigators have developed a catalog of transcription factor binding sites that regulate gene expression across the genome, according to a recent study published in ...

We often take facts we learn — like the fact that transcription factors bind to DNA — for granted. Or maybe not. See how researchers used DNA footprinting and gel shift assays to prove this idea.

Citrus fruit rind color has long been used as an indicator of ripeness, but for some fruits such as mandarin fruit in the ...

Researchers have been trying for decades to stop the cells that damage the lung in people with pulmonary fibrosis. Now a team ...

Transcription factors are proteins that can bind to DNA and affect the expression of genes; some are known as master regulators that can have a wide impact | Genetics And Genomics ...

Nearly 60,000 people are diagnosed with oral cancer in the U.S. every year, according to the American Cancer Society, and the ...

Scientists have discovered that a crucial protein found in plants, called auxin response factor (ARF) first arose about 600 ...

The discovery of a family with sequence similarity 102 member A (Fam102a) protein as a novel bone remodeling factor that regulates both osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation can aid the ...
