gene expression

Energetic gene switch

New findings link flux through glycolysis, which produces cellular energy, with transcription and gene expression via histone modification.

Predictive models for gene regulation

Using new computational approaches to understand the behavior of cells should aid efforts to predict how mutations affect cell function and how diseases respond to drug combinations.

Vanderbilt study links gene expression, disease association data

An international team of researchers has integrated gene expression and disease association data to better understand the biological mechanisms of complex human diseases.
