The CEGR is composed of Cornell laboratories focused on understanding the mechanisms of gene regulation.

Topics covered are: promoters, RNA polymerase II, general transcription factors and coactivators, the role of chromatin structure in transcription, elongation control and the mechanisms of gene ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

Proteins' amino-acid sequences appear to guide their access to blob-like aggregates involved in many cell processes ...

It seeks to understand the process of trait inheritance from parents to offspring, including the molecular structure and function of genes, gene behaviour in the context of a cell or organism (e.g ...

Genetic material DNA in a nucleus, plasmids are found in a few simple eukaryotic organisms. DNA is a single molecule, found free in the cytoplasm; additional DNA is found on one or more rings ...

Feb. 6, 2025 — Despite new medication, cystic fibrosis often leads to permanent lung damage. Researchers have discovered that the disease causes changes in the immune system early in life ...

A CRISPR-based system that erases itself from fly populations may offer a safer approach to tackling insecticide resistance while minimizing ecological risks.
