The human genome contains about 23,000 genes, but only a fraction of those genes are turned on inside a cell at any given time. The complex network of regulatory elements that controls gene expression ...

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have invented a new single-cell nascent RNA sequencing technique that lets them observe the timing of gene and enhancer activation in ...

"We picture that the communication between an enhancer and a promoter is a condensate-type, transient structure, and RNA is part of that. This is an important piece of work in building the ...
