Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene ...
DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...
Researchers developed e2MPRA, a high-throughput technique that simultaneously measures cis-regulatory element activity and ...
An innovative CRISPR-Cas12f-based activator system may hold significant potential in the future of gene therapy and biological research, suggest researchers of a new study. The study highlights the ...
The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function. Epigenetic features are just one way that cells control gene expression, ...
Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...
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 ...
Our circadian clocks play a crucial role in our health and well-being, keeping our 24-hour biological cycles in sync with ...
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 ...
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 ...
Our circadian clocks play a crucial role in our health and well-being, keeping our 24-hour biological cycles in sync with light and dark exposure. Disruptions in the rhythms of these clocks, as with ...
Less than 2% of the genome codes for proteins; the rest, once called 'junk DNA', contains regulatory elements. Researchers ...
