There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...
Every cell in a body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These cell-specific gene expression patterns, which ensure that a brain cell is different ...
Scientists at Rice University have unveiled a breakthrough technique that could fundamentally change how DNA is designed for ...
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. Abnormalities in the ...
