"MicroRNAs are regulating most of the human genes."
"Epigenetic control literally says control above the genes. This is the new science."
"Your cells have specialized proteins that turn off and on different genes throughout the course of your lifetime."
"Epigenetics is the environment controls the genes."
"Vitamin D regulates the expression of over a thousand different genes in your body."
"Food is information that it's instructions that literally change the gene expression regulates our hormones can affect your immune system and inflammation your body even a picture got microbiome."
"DNA methylation can determine the function of different genes, whether they get turned on or turned off."
"We like to think that the linked RNA could be a driver of evolutionary innovation in gene regulation."
"She has made several discoveries, including... that the non-coding RNA could actually bind to the DNA and regulate gene expression in a very important gene."
"Methylation has the power to turn gene replication on and off like a light switch."
"So you shut this down and then you shut down the genes that are responsible for trying to prevent apoptosis and you actually induce apoptosis."
"Some of this junk DNA turns out to be involved in regulating which genes are turned on and which genes are turned off."
"Regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes occurs at different levels: DNA level, transcription level, and translational level."
"There's about 20,000 genes in the human genome alone, and each of those genes has to be controlled independently and in response to different stimuli."
"Volcano plots are useful for identifying genes that are significantly regulated."
"Whole batteries of these genes can be switched on at once by master control genes."
"RNA-guided gene regulation occurs in a variety of biological contexts."
"Different genes can be regulated differently, expressed or not expressed due to different environmental conditions."
"Ketones fix things, ketones turn off bad genes, ketones downregulate cell inflammation, ketones fix the brain."
"The regulators of our gene expression are to a significant degree under our control."
"Conversely, if you have a high amount of spliced reads and a low amount of unspliced reads, that means the gene is likely being turned off."
"Variation in biofilm formation is probably not due to new sequences, but rather differences in the regulation of conserved genes important for the process."
"Epigenetics is simply a process by which you get chemical switches which can turn your genes on and off, a bit like a light switch, without altering the DNA structure."
"If there are hundreds of thousands of possible binary locations that are equally good for a regulator, why are only tens of thousands occupied?"
"Most of evolution in the last 500 million years has consisted of the evolution of gene regulation rather than the evolution of new structural proteins."
"It actually serves to regulate the messenger RNA that's going to build a protein."
"This single RNA gene can crumple up and shut down an entire chromosome."
"The gene regulation network is a graph with all regular regulation interactions on the transcriptional level."
"The function of the nucleus is to maintain the integrity of these genes and to control the activities of the cell by regulating gene expression."
"Epigenetic modifications can regulate gene expression through the addition of methyl groups on specific DNA bases."
"In complex organisms like humans there's another step that we're still only learning about now."
"Repressors are great at turning genes off, but it's not the only mode of regulation that cells have at their disposal."
"Regulating gene expression is actually the most critical aspect of life, even more than the genome sequence itself."
"Regulating gene expression is important because all of the multicellular organism's somatic cells contain the same DNA code."
"Positive gene regulation is more a sense of how much transcription do we want to take place."
"Every note, pause, crescendo, or diminuendo significantly shapes our biological symphony."
