The mammalian elongation complex has remained a mystery – until researchers discovered how it controls its speed.

Bacterial transcription is a production line of copying over genetic instructions from double stranded DNA to produce RNA, which is then used for the subsequent production of proteins that the ...

Life's instructions are written in DNA, but it is the enzyme RNA polymerase II (Pol II) that reads the script, transcribing ...

Researchers have identified a stress-activated control mechanism that helps breast cancer cells reshape gene activity to ...

In a large joint project, a total of six research groups from the University of Cologne Cluster of Excellence on Cellular Stress Responses in Age-Associated Diseases (CECAD), the Max Planck Institute ...

Researchers have found a small but powerful switch inside breast cancer cells that helps them survive stressful conditions.

When under cellular stress, breast cancer cells turn on genes that promote tumor growth and stress resistance.

Transcription factors are an essential part of gene expression. Some of these proteins are known as master regulators, and they can have an impact on many different biochemical pathways and processes ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

DNA, the long polymer curled up inside our cells, is often described as the instructions for life. But those instructions are stored in DNA’s chemical code, and reading that code requires the ...
