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.
The mRNA metabolism passively shapes the levels of an mRNA modification called m6A within a steady-state cell and upon stress.
Investigating how mutations in tumors alter DNA’s 3D structure—and subsequently, regulatory sequences called enhancers—can ...
