Cohn was a leader in gene regulation and immune system research and left a lasting legacy in La Jolla.

Recent research has revealed many surprises about circular RNAs, from findings that they are translated in vivo to links between their expression and disease.

Researchers have designed a screen to find unique molecules, called riboswitches, that determine whether transcription will proceed.

A newly developed method detects regulators of bacterial transcription called riboswitches.

Additions to the bases of RNA molecules can be written, read, and erased.

A chance discovery results in the first report of DNA-based gene silencing in an animal.

A chromatin remodeler in embryonic stem cells clears the DNA for mRNA transcription while stifling the expression of noncoding transcripts.

Preliminary results from the Genotype-Tissue Expression project reveal that gene expression varies more across tissues than across individuals.

Not only do telomeres protect the ends of chromosomes, they also modulate gene expression over cells’ lifetimes.

Results from the Mouse ENCODE project point to key divergences in gene regulation architecture compared to humans.
