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 ...

A new tool greatly improves scientists’ ability to identify and study proteins that regulate gene activity in cells, ...

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, ...

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 ...

Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is ...

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 ...

In an article published in the journal Nature Communications, scientists have studied a protein, called HP1, which is involved in organizing DNA. Present in both fission yeast and mammals, ...

If our genes are so similar, what really makes a eukaryote different from a prokaryote, or a human from E. coli? The answer lies in the difference in gene expression and regulation used. Regulation of ...

Professor Adam Paré's research identifies the fundamental mechanisms that mold tissues during animal development. On Wednesday, he will discuss epithelial remodeling during development.

A new randomized study finds that a lab test that reads tumor genes can identify which patients with recurrent prostate ...
