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 ...

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 ...

The study combines a deep learning model with CRISPR screens to control the expression of human genes in different ways -- such as flicking a light switch to shut them off completely or by using a ...

The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function. Epigenetic features are just one way that cells control gene expression, ...

Researchers have created a battery-powered device that stimulates gene expression and prompts cells to produce insulin in diabetic mice, cracking open a door to a future where wearable electronics ...

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 ...

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

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Northwestern University identified a previously unknown treatment ...
