Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Biotechnology, researchers describe the pA regulator system based on a ribonucleic acid (RNA)-based switch to regulate mammalian gene expression by ...

Turning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is ...

New research suggests that alternative splicing may have an even greater influence on biology than just by creating new protein isoforms. The study shows that the biggest impact of alternative ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

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, ...

A gene-editing tool that can turn genes on and off like a light switch has been developed. Turning a gene on means activating ...
