Some sequences in the genome cause genes to be switched on or off. Until now, each of these gene switches, or so-called enhancers, was thought to have its own place on the DNA. Different enhancers are ...
Researchers have created the most comprehensive map to date of DNA elements that regulate gene activity, nearly tripling the ...
The field of cancer epigenetics examines how heritable changes in gene regulation - independent of DNA sequence - impact ...
Figure 1: KMAP visualisation of SELEX-seq data for the transcription factor MAFK. Each dot represents a k-mer. Clusters of k-mers at the center correspond to DNA motifs, while the surrounding dots ...
Despite spanning about three billion base pairs, the human genome is wrapped up tight in a highly organized fashion in the nucleus. This coordinated structure, in part, enables the cell to regulate ...
