Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

Plant bioengineering—in which plant genes are modified to include desirable characteristics—is the key to solutions for problems concerning crop resilience and food security. Elements like gene ...

DNA sequences that regulate expression of the insulin gene are located within a region spanning ~400 bp that flank the transcription start site. This region, the insulin promoter, contains a number of ...

Validated, tissue-specific library enables customisable and controllable liver-targeted gene expression with high specificity and minimal off-target activity in muscle tissue SHEFFIELD, England, ...

Researchers at the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology have  uncovered new evidence that two major types of gene-controlling DNA ...

Using a new technique, researchers have shown that they can map interactions between gene promoters and enhancers with 100 times higher resolution than has previously been possible. Much of the human ...

SynGenSys, a biotechnology company designing synthetic gene promoter systems to address critical bottlenecks in biopharma manufacturing and enhance cell and gene therapy development, today announced ...
