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

Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA). This mechanism ...

Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

A recent study marks the first reported instance of generative AI designing synthetic molecules that can successfully control gene expression in healthy mammalian cells. As a proof-of-concept, the ...

Researchers have developed a new "color-coded" genetic method that makes it easy to distinguish male and female mosquitoes.

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 ...

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...

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

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