A newly identified cellular system monitors subtle variations in genetic coding, hinting at a hidden level of control over ...

The research field of 'cellular IRESes' lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the clear characterization of these starting points for the ribosome-mediated ...

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 ...

Scientists usually study the molecular machinery that controls gene expression from the perspective of a linear, ...

Livestock breeders could soon have more tools to improve the health and quality of their animals, thanks to a recent study ...

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 ...

What if you could flip a genetic switch to silence a gene, then turn it back on with a simple drug? For researchers, gene-switch tools offer that kind of control—and a new system called Cyclone may ...

Epigenetic therapies are offering a more targeted way to treat some lymphomas by changing how genes are turned on or off ...

Researchers have identified a distinct and reproducible gene expression program associated with neurotransmission in the living human brain, offering unprecedented insight into the molecular ...
