It is this carefully controlled pattern of what is called "gene expression" that makes a liver cell different from a muscle cell, and a healthy cell different from a cancer cell. But how can ...

How Is Gene Expression Regulated? The amounts and types of mRNA molecules in a cell reflect the function of that cell. In fact, thousands of transcripts are produced every second in every cell.

Genetic engineering in non-human primates has long been limited by the need for virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, ...

Gene expression testing helps determine chemotherapy needs for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, optimizing treatment ...

The ability to control gene expression across a wide range is crucial for many fields, including bioengineering, disease detection, and environmental monitoring. Research led by Lingchong You ...

The tiny strings of RNA promote translation of a protein implicated in cancer, a hint they could regulate gene expression in more ways than previously thought. Holly Barker is a freelance journalist ...

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA).

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed a vector that integrates the Cre enzyme gene with the specific DNA ...
