Study Challenges Notions Of How Genes Are Controlled In Mammals

Datum: 24.4.2009 

An international consortium of scientists has probed further into the 88human genome than ever before. They have discovered how genes are controlled in mammals, as well as the tiniest genetic element ever found.

"FANTOM4 has shown that instead of having one or a few 'master regulator' genes that control growth and development, there is a sophisticated network of regulatory elements that subtly influence the ways in which genes are expressed in different cells in the body," Professor John Mattick said.
