They seek to understand how cells modulate gene expression by modulating chromatin and DNA organization. Fred Hutch researchers have done pioneering work in the areas of gene regulation, chromatin ...

Gene regulation refers to the mechanisms that act to induce or repress the expression of a gene. These include structural and chemical changes to the genetic material, binding of proteins to ...

Humans and chimpanzees share more than 95% of our genome, and yet we are remarkably different. A new study highlights the ...

Somatically determined preferential allelic expression of select genes that when mutated cause inborn errors of immunity corresponds with disease phenotypes, suggesting that the penetrance and ...

Research reveals how aging impacts gene expression across brain cell types, identifying critical changes in the hypothalamus ...
