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.

Scientists have recently discovered a novel, evolutionarily conserved mechanism for the regulation of gene expression. Normal cell growth, embryonic development, and responses to stress, require ...

Studying the control of gene expression is a growing area of research at the moment, likely owing to its fundamental importance to many biological processes.

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, ...

In contrast to growth control, gene expression responses to stress involve distinctive regulatory mechanisms that are characterized by high levels of noise. These features allow organisms to ...

Using electricity to control gene expression has opened a new field of research and while such electrogenetic systems have been previously identified they have lacked precision during the presence ...

If scientists could learn how to control when a gene is expressed or not, then it would be easier to relieve many human diseases. While there are a number of ways that have been developed and are ...

Imagine a tiny microbe living inside you with the power to control the activity of your DNA. Scientists are increasingly discovering how much control our gut bacteria may actually have over us ...
