To directly map the position of promoter DNA within the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription preinitiation complex (PIC), FeBABE was tethered to specific sites within the HIS4 promoter and ...

Detection of aberrantly methylated hMLH1 promoter DNA in the serum of patients with microsatellite unstable colon cancer. Cancer Res 2001;61:900-902. PubMed. Web of Science. Google Scholar.

In hopes of improving the DNA owner's manual—and helping to keep DNA roadworthy—two teams of scientists have focused on DNA promoter regions.

DNA transcription is the vital first step needed for switching on our genes. For a gene to be switched on, it must be acted upon by an enzyme called RNA polymerase. This is a molecular machine which ...

Inactivation of the DNA repair gene O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase by promoter hypermethylation is a common event in primary human neoplasia. Cancer Res 1999;59:793-797.

The DNA in our cells is folded into millions of small packets, like beads on a string, allowing our two-meter linear DNA genomes to fit into a nucleus of only about 0.01 mm in diameter. However ...

The 35S promoter would have to be somehow spliced out of the plant DNA and be successfully transferred into an area of human DNA where it might drive a harmful gene. 5.

How bladder cancer originates and progresses has been illuminated as never before in a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and the New York Genome Center. The researchers found that ...

Experts say there’s no evidence that the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are ‘adulterated’ If a contaminant were found in a vaccine, the FDA would investigate and decide if it is a safety issue.
