Promoter sequences are DNA sequences that define where transcription of a gene by RNA polymerase begins. Promoter sequences are typically located directly upstream or at the 5' end of the ...

Single-Molecule Footprinting reveals that RNA polymerase II (Pol II) occupancy is infrequent at mouse promoters. This results ...

In addition, regulatory sites on prokaryotic DNA are typically located close to transcription promoter sites — and this plays an important part in gene expression. For an example of how this ...

While previous research had described bidirectional promoters in eukaryotes ... widespread feature conserved across all three domains of life. In eukaryotic cells, DNA winds around histone ... Jack is ...

in New York describe a bioinformatic strategy to predict gene promoters and first exons (Nat Genet 2001, DOI: 10.1038/ng780).They developed a new program, called FirstEF, that attempts to predict the ...

There is no discernable significant homology between human and either chicken or zebrafish insulin promoters, which is in keeping with the view that most human DNA is not alignable to species ...

Researchers have engineered yeast to efficiently convert methanol into D-lactic acid, a key compound for biodegradable ...

Chinese scientists have uncovered two major genes responsible for sorghum's double-grain spikelet, which dramatically enhance grain number and crop yield. A substantial 35.7-kilobase intrachromosomal ...
