Organisms can keep gene expression in check, biologist says

Researchers have learned how living beings can keep gene expression in check -- which might partly explain the uncontrolled gene expression found in many cancers. "Using yeast as a model organism, we ...

Understanding mechanisms underlying human gene expression variation with RNA sequencing

Studies of gene expression variation in humans have yielded several insights into the genetic basis of natural variation in mRNA levels. In particular, much variation in gene expression levels and ...
