The human genome contains approximately 1,600 types of transcription factors responsible for regulating gene activity across more than 400 tissue and cell types. Chromatin immunoprecipitation ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have comprehensively analyzed genomic binding data of transcription factors (proteins that regulate gene expression) in humans, revealing a substantial amount of ...

Transcription refers to the creation of a complimentary strand of RNA copied from a DNA sequence. This results in the formation of messenger RNA (mRNA), which is used to synthesize a protein via ...

This is due to epigenetic components: microRNA, histone and DNA methylation, gene mutations that alter the expression and production of the neurotrophic factor BDNF, which interacts with the receptors ...
