Further investigation identified seven transcription factor genes that strongly influence whether leukemia cells looked like old or young blood cells.

The University of Pennsylvania's Aman Husbands, of the School of Arts & Sciences, uncovered surprising ways transcription factors, the genetic switches for genes, regulate plant development.

After proteins are produced by transcription and translation, their activity may be adjusted by various chemical modifications.

It is a so-called transcription factor; It acts as a switch that turns genes on or off, and it thus affects how the cell behaves.

The team developed a mechanistic framework to show how the various components of the complex work together to bring freshly transcribed mRNAs to the ribosome and act as bridges between transcription and translation.
