Genomic regulatory map of the zebrafish
Zebrafish and humans look very different on the outside. Yet about 70 percent of their genes are similar to human genes—including many that can trigger diseases. That makes the animal a popular model organism. Many observations of biological proces.....»»
Will Didi’s regulatory problems make it harder for Chinese startups to go public in the US?
For China-based companies hoping to list in the United States, the market likely just got much, much colder. Shares of Chinese ride-hailing business Didi are off 22% this morning after the company was hit by more regulatory activity over th.....»»

FTC Votes To Expand Antitrust Enforcement Powers
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on Thursday voted to expand the regulatory agency's enforcement powers, a signal of Democratic commissioners' willingness to crack down on alleged anti-competitive behavior. From a report: The Democratic-controlled.....»»
A new class of functional elements in the human genome?
When regions of the human genome where the DNA can fold into unusual three-dimensional structures called G-quadruplexes (G4s) are located in regulatory sequences or other functional, but non-protein coding, regions of the genome, they are maintained.....»»
RAMBO speeds searches on huge DNA databases
Computer scientists are sending RAMBO to rescue genomic researchers who sometimes wait days or weeks for search results from enormous DNA databases......»»
How does a regulatory protein know where to bind to modulate insulin production?
Some proteins in the body ensure that genes are turned on and off at the correct times. For example, the transcription factor protein Pdx1 (pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1) turns on the gene that codes for insulin, and the protein SPOP (speckle-ty.....»»
Robinhood ordered to pay $70m penalty to US regulator
It's the largest penalty the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has ever ordered. Enlarge A Wall Street regulator has ordered the retail trading platform Robinhood to pay more than $70m in penalties for causing what it described as “wi.....»»
Study provides first genome-wide evidence for functional importance of unusual DNA structures
Some regions of the human genome where the DNA can fold into unusual three-dimensional structures called G-quadruplexes (G4s) show signs that they are preserved by natural selection. When G4s are located in the regulatory sequences that control how g.....»»
The evolution of axial patterning
Body axes are molecular coordinate systems along which regulatory genes are activated. These genes then activate the development of anatomical structures in correct locations in the embryo. Thus, the body ensures that we do not develop arms on our he.....»»

Researchers use phylogenetics to untangle convergent adaptation in birds
Researchers from Skoltech and their colleagues have shown that adaptation to similar environments hardly involves similar genomic positions when species are distantly related. The team investigated recurrent adaptations of wildlife birds' mitochondri.....»»
Google"s Adtech Business Set To Face Formal EU Probe By Year-End
Alphabet unit Google could face its biggest regulatory threat, with EU antitrust regulators set to open a formal investigation into its lucrative digital advertising business before the end of the year, said people familiar with the matter. From a re.....»»
When small epigenomic signals matter: Regulatory elements that are directly involved in human neuronal brain functions
Although each organism has a unique genome, a single gene sequence, each individual has many epigenomes. An epigenome consists of chemical compounds and proteins that can bind to DNA and regulate gene action, either by activating or deactivating them.....»»
Why it took 20 years to "finish" the human genome—and why there"s still more to do
The release of the draft human genome sequence in 2001 was a seismic moment in our understanding of the human genome, and paved the way for advances in our understanding of the genomic basis of human biology and disease......»»
How China Is Cracking Down on Its Once Untouchable Tech Titans
For years, China’s tech entrepreneurs were considered rock stars: Icons whose rags-to-riches career paths, guile and contempt for the rulebook earned them cult-like status. But over the past few months regulatory scrutiny, combined with growing.....»»
