The mRNA metabolism passively shapes the levels of an mRNA modification called m6A within a steady-state cell and upon stress.

For stem cells to differentiate into the appropriate cell-type, transcription factors (TFs) must be tailored to highly specific expression patterns of lineage-specific genes.

New AI model predicts gene expression across human cell types. Download PDF Copy; ... between DNA sequence and chromatin accessibility across large chunks of the genome in a specific cell type.

Promoters, which start gene transcription, showed a dependence on sequence orientation but were less specific to cell types. Enhancers, which boost gene transcription, were active regardless of ...

Investigating how mutations in tumors alter DNA’s 3D structure—and subsequently, regulatory sequences called enhancers—can ...

The study revealed several key insights. Across the three cell types, approximately 41.7% of the analyzed CREs exhibited activity. Promoters, which start gene transcription, showed a dependence on ...

This is a useful study in the role of CHI3L1 in Kupffer cells, the macrophages of the liver, showing that CHI3L1 alters glucose regulation in obesity. Specifically, Chi3l1 protects glucose-dependent ...
