Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA ...

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene ...

Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

Eyam Health Inc. today announced the publication of peer-reviewed research in Nature Communications describing Gemini™, a binary self-amplifying genetic expression platform that can be deployed as ...

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 ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

Larvae of the silk moth tend to live longer lives if they have higher levels of an enzyme known as NAD+.

A new study suggests that the Agouti gene in the brains of male African striped mice can act as a molecular "switch," making them caring or violent toward their young.

Gene expression experiments measure changes in RNA transcript levels to compare how genes are up- or down-regulated across ...
