Regulation of gene expression, or gene regulation, [1] includes a wide range of mechanisms that are used by cells to increase or decrease the production of specific gene products (protein or RNA).

For a cell to function properly, necessary proteins must be synthesized at the proper time. All cells control or regulate the synthesis of proteins from information encoded in their DNA. The process of …

2 days ago · Gene regulation is the process used to control the timing, location and amount in which genes are expressed. The process can be complicated and is carried out by a variety of …

In multicellular organisms such as ourselves, gene regulation allows for specialization among different cell types. A muscle cell and a skin cell contain a copy of the same chromosomes and genes, but …

A single gene can be subject to both positive and negative transcriptional control by different transcription factors, creating multiple layers of regulation. But some genes are not subject to …

Jul 22, 2025 · Gene regulation is the process by which cells control which genes are turned “on” or “off” at specific times. Like a stage director, cells activate only the genes necessary for their particular …

This article looks at the many steps involved in controlling gene expression, from how tightly DNA is packed in the cell to how RNA is processed and proteins are made and modified.

Aug 4, 2025 · Gene expression is governed by a layered system of regulation, stretching from the nucleus to the outer edges of the cell. Like a conductor managing an orchestra, the cell uses a …

Nov 3, 2025 · In this Tools of the Trade article, Shubham Khetan presents PADIT-seq (protein affinity to DNA by in vitro transcription and RNA sequencing), which enables the reliable identification of...

Dec 20, 2023 · Genes are fundamental units of heredity that contain the instructions for building and maintaining an organism. The expression of genes is tightly controlled by a complex network of …
