These include the promoter, plus response elements, activator and enhancer sequences for binding of transcription factors to aid RNA polymerase binding and promote expression, and operator or ...

A giant musk turtle is one of the two species of turtles studied by a research team led by Nicole Valenzuela, professor of ecology, evolution and organismal biology at Iowa State University, in a ...

DNA catapults into spotlight. A trio of research papers from Stanford Medicine researchers and their international collaborators transforms scientists’ understanding of how small DNA circles — until ...

The researchers also showed that the circles can contain not just cancer-driving oncogenes and genes that modulate the immune response, but also that others can contain only DNA sequences called ...

Transcription activation of genes by estrogens is driven by enhancers, which are often located within the same Topologically Associating Domain (TAD) as non-targeted promoters. We investigated how ...
