Proteins are a ubiquitous and indispensable element for every living organism, from simple bacteria to mammals. Already in the simplest organisms, there exist some thousands of different protein species that take up a great variety of structures, and thus ...
Gene-regulatory networks are ubiquitous in nature and critical for bottom-up engineering of synthetic networks. Transcriptional repression is a fundamental function that can be tuned at the level of DNA, protein, and cooperative protein-protein interaction ...
The fatal lung disease tuberculosis is caused by the airborne Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a versatile pathogen adapted to rapidly changing environments. Instead of being eradicated by phagocytic cells of its human host, bacilli tune macrophages to support ...
The precise tuning of gene expression levels is essential for optimal performance of transcriptional regulatory networks. Many regulatory components control promoter output, but transcription factor (TF) binding sites are amongst the most prominent. Beside ...
The regulation of gene expression controls development, and changes in this regulation often contribute to phenotypic evolution. Drosophila pigmentation is a model system for studying evolutionary changes in gene regulation, with differences in expression ...
The precise tuning of gene expression levels is essential for the optimal performance of transcriptional regulatory networks. We created 209 variants of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae PHO5 promoter to quantify how different binding sites for the transcriptio ...
Mammalian transcription occurs stochastically in short bursts interspersed by silent intervals showing a refractory period. However, the underlying processes and consequences on fluctuations in gene products are poorly understood. Here, we use single allel ...

The Gene Promoter Expression Prediction challenge consisted of predicting gene expression from promoter sequences in a previously unknown experimentally generated data set. The challenge was presented to the community in the framework of the sixth Dialogue ...
Living bacteria or yeast cells are frequently used as bioreporters for the detection of specific chemical analytes or conditions of sample toxicity. In particular, bacteria or yeast equipped with synthetic gene circuitry that allows the production of a rel ...
In mammals, transcription was observed to occur predominantly in bursts, resulting from short and intense periods of gene transcription interspersed by longer silent periods. In order to elucidate the causes and the consequences of discontinuous transcript ...
