New annotated database sifts through mountains of sequencing data to find gene promoters
Researchers at The Wistar Institute announce the release of an online tool that will help scientists find “gene promoters” — regions along a DNA strand that tell a cell’s transcription machinery where to start reading in order to create a particula…
Is the shape of a genome as important as its content?
If there is one thing that recent advances in genomics have revealed, it is that our genes are interrelated, “chattering” to each other across separate chromosomes and vast stretches of DNA. According to researchers at The Wistar Institute, many…
