Researchers have created the most comprehensive map to date of DNA elements that regulate gene activity, nearly tripling the ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

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 ...

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 ...

Inflammation has to fight pathogens fast—but it can't get out of control. Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center ...

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 ...

The SWI/SNF Ig-Fold for Transcription Factor Interactions or 'SWIFT' domain on mSWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes engage ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of RNA molecule that do not carry instructions to make proteins. Instead, they influence how other genes are expressed. There are tens of thousands of lncRNAs ...

Inducible promoters provide remarkable utility when sustained transgene expression compromises plant development or agronomic performance. In this study, four different plant heat shock protein (HSP) ...
