The human genome contains approximately 1,600 types of transcription factors responsible for regulating gene activity across ...

Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

Agriculture, from the outset, has been made possible by humans tweaking the genes of plants to make them grow faster, produce ...

To help achieve more precise control of gene therapy, engineers have designed a new control circuit that can keep gene expression levels within a target range. The method could be used to deliver ...

The research field of 'cellular IRESes' lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the clear characterization of these starting points for the ribosome-mediated ...

Engineered oncolytic bacteria have emerged as a promising therapeutic platform for precision cancer treatment, offering tumor ...

What if you could flip a genetic switch to silence a gene, then turn it back on with a simple drug? For researchers, gene-switch tools offer that kind of control—and a new system called Cyclone may ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden announced the honor today. Victor R. Ambros, PhD, and Gary ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have comprehensively analyzed genomic binding data of transcription factors (proteins that regulate gene expression) in humans, revealing a substantial amount of ...
