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

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 ...

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 ...

Macquarie University neuroscientists are to receive a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Ideas Grant worth ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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) ...

New research is shining a light on one of genetics’ enduring puzzles - how the workings of the so-called “selfish gene” could be harnessed to control harmful insect populations. Malaysian stalk-eyed ...
