Special issue on Gene Expression and Regulation
call for papers
Includes
a wide range of mechanisms that are used by cells to increase or decrease the
production of specific gene products (protein or RNA),
and is informally termed gene regulation. Sophisticated programs of gene
expression are
widely used in biology, for example to trigger developmental pathways, respond
to environmental stimuli, or adapt to new food sources. Virtually any step of
gene expression can be modulated, from transcriptional initiation, to RNA
processing,
and to the post-translational modification of a protein.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
-
Supercoiling DNA modifications, phosphorylation & methylation.
-
Transcription
-
Post-transcription modification (specification factors, repressor, activator, enhancer)
-
Up & down regulations
-
RNA transport & silencing
-
Expression analysis (in situ probing, hybridization & microarray)
-
Applications of gene regulations
