In back-to-back studies published in Nature, researchers from Purdue University and Columbia University report a naturally ...

Cells are defined by the genes they express. In human cells, there are thousands of different protein coding genes, and the expression of those genes is carefully orchestrated and controlled by a ...

Dialing up gene expression Synthetic gene circuits are engineered to include not only the gene of interest, but also a promoter region. At this site, transcription factors and other regulators can ...

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 ...

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

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

Learn about gene expression studies in progressive supranuclear palsy in Mayo Clinic's Precision Medicine in Neurodegeneration Lab led by Nilufer Ertekin-Taner, M.D., Ph.D.

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 ...
