Transcription articles from across Nature Portfolio

Tyrosine sulfation is a novel histone post-translational modification, which facilitates transcription.

Engineering synthetic tools that facilitate decision-making in mammalian cells could enable myriad biomedical applications. Researchers have now developed a new system of inducer-controlled transcription factors to facilitate synthetic decision-making (LOGIC) in human cells based on modular protein-fusion cascades.

Discovery of the wide conservation of the homeodomain provided revolutionary insight into gene function and ushered in the birth of evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo).

Julio Collado-Vides recalls two 2005 publications that provide a conceptual framework based on a statistical thermodynamics approach to quantitatively model the regulatory activity at promoters subject to regulation by multiple transcription factors.
