Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene function that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence, plays a pivotal role in understanding the complex interplay between genetics and the environment ...

If autoimmune disease runs in your family, you may have been told some version of this: It’s in your genes. But science is revealing a deeper layer of complexity; genetic predisposition influences ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...

A protein’s life is anything but simple. Discover how transcription, translation, folding, modification, and degradation work together to preserve proteome integrity.

Propagation of expression noise from mRNA to protein level is influenced by variation in availability of ribosomal machinery.
