The ability to control gene expression across a wide range is crucial for many fields, including bioengineering, disease detection, and environmental monitoring. Research led by Lingchong You, Ph.D., ...

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 ...

It could be simply to control gene expression." The study, "Global impact of unproductive splicing on human gene expression levels and traits," was supported by funding from the National Institutes of ...

Communication between cells is now believed to activate a memory mechanism that sustains gene expression, a finding based on the work of Dr. Gregory Reeves. Reeves, an associate professor in the Artie ...

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 ...

Researchers say gene switches currently offer limited temporal and spatial precision and can also have adverse effects. Now, a recent study, “Electromagnetic field-inducible in vivo gene switch for ...

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 ...

SRF is a transcription factor directly controlling the expression of at least 200-300 genes, regulating cell growth, proliferation, apoptosis, and motility, and is indispensable for organ development, ...

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 ...

Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA). This mechanism ...
