Gene Regulation is created by using mechanisms to inhibit or induce the expression of a gene product. Regulation of a gene can include: the binding of proteins to DNA elements in order to regulation of transcription, structural changes, chemical changes, or the translation of mRNA.
Changes in transcriptional regulation are thought to be one of the key drivers of carcinogenesis. Although next-generation sequencer revolutionized transcriptome analysis, there are limitati...
Combinatorial inhibition of effector and feedback pathways is a promising treatment strategy for KRAS mutant cancers. However, the particular pathways that should be targeted to optimize the...

While live cell imaging offers advantages over traditional static imaging, this approach has been challenging for studying microbes due to the difficulty in tracking very small cells in a si...
Prokaryotic DNA contains three types of methylation: N6-methyladenine, N4-methylcytosine and 5-methylcytosine. The lack of tools to analyse the frequency and distribution of methylated resid...
Influenza severity is determined by the interplay between the virus and the host response. Previously, we identified a three-pronged lung gene expression signature that predicted severe infl...
The regions of our genome responsible for encoding the genes that regulate our immune response are some of the most complex and polymorphic known. This complexity encompasses multiple types...
Why do some individuals live longer than others? Even identical twins have different lifespans, as do genetically identical model organisms raised in controlled laboratory environments. What...
The identification of novel drug targets and the development of next generation therapeutic strategies remain elusive goals for cancer researchers. We believe that the aberrant molecular eve...
MicroRNA(miRNA) are short non-coding single stranded RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at the post transcriptional level. They are known to play a critical role in multiple biologi...
Most bladder cancer (BC) cases are non-muscle-invasive BC (NIBMC), which is rarely lethal. However, nearly one-fifth of NMIBC cases progress to muscle-invasive BC (MIBC), which shows a 5-yea...
