Cyclone is a portable gene-switch system that uses acyclovir to reversibly control gene expression with minimal toxicity.

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 ...

A figure from the paper illustates a key finding of "compromised compartmentalization": chromatin that was locking genes down in health became more open in Alzheimer's, while chromatin that was open ...

Investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine have developed a versatile and non-toxic technology for controlling the activity of ...

The 55th Lewis S. Rosenstiel Award for Distinguished Work in Basic Medical Research has been awarded to professor Steven ...

In the new paper, the researchers devised a way to control gene expression levels by changing the distance between the synthetic gene and its promoter. They found that when there was a longer DNA ...

Our experiences leave traces in the brain, stored in small groups of cells called engrams. Engrams are thought to hold the ...

A team led by UC Davis poultry scientist Huaijun Zhou has created the first comprehensive map of gene regulation in breeds of chickens. The map could be a resource for finding resistance to H5N1 ...
